Description
Excerpt from Eskimo Life
For one whole winter we were cut off from the world and immured among the Greenlanders. I dwelt in their huts, took part in their hunting, and tried, as well as I could, to live their life and learn their lan guage. But one winter, unfortunately, is far too short a time in which to attain a thorough knowledge Of so peculiar a people, its civilisation, and its ways of thought - that would require years Of patient study. Nevertheless, I have tried in this book to record the impressions made upon me by the Eskimo and his polity, and have sought, as far as possible, to support them by quotations from former authors.
