    Description 1st Edition: 285pp, illustrated, 8 pages of colour illustrations and photographs, maps on eps. Blue cloth covers with gilt titling to spine in illustrated dustjacket. "Single, ambitious, self-reliant young man required....Duncan Pryde an 18 year old orphan, ex merchant seaman and disgruntled factory-worker, decided to try his hand at fur trading and emigrated to Canada. In Nunaga, he tells of his discovery of a remote and primitive life to which, astonishingly, he found that he easily adapted....Pryde speaks with authority of the northern native life - the Eskimos' birth, death and marriage rights, their extraordinarily tolerant sexual customs, their age-old and amazingly effective hunting skills". A good read. Some damp damage, wrinkling to bottom of pages and plates are stuck together but may seperate with a little care.
