Condition: Very Good. 1 page, 8 1/2 x 11 inches watermarked letterhead, folded. Text: Dear Miss Leighton I'll be glad to scribble my name in the book. Please send it to the above address (signed) V Stefansson. The explorer and ethnologist Vilhjalmur Stefansson (1879-1962) spent five consecutive record-making years exploring vast areas of the Canadian Arctic after adapting himself to the Eskimo way of life.

Stefansson was involved in two disasters: the loss of the Karluk during the Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913 1916 to explore the regions west of Parry Archipelago for the Government of Canada, which he led; and the Wrangel Island fiasco, 1921. 1p., 8vo. In good condition, lightly aged and worn. He writes to Bax 'c/o Hill & Peters'. The letter begins: 'Just as I am starting on a lecture tour, a letter comes from Marjorie Humphreys saying you are about to arrive and asking that I do something for you. I would like that, both for her sake and to have the chance of meeting you and learning at first hand about conditions in Britain.' He will attempt to get in touch with Bax on his return the following week. In the meantime he is writing to the Harvard Club, 'asking them to make you a visiting member for their maximum period, which is two weeks from the day when you call for your card'. He ends with contact details. An autograph note at the foot of the letter reads: 'The card entitles you to get a room in the Club, should you prefer it to a hotel.' The letter is accompanied by a manuscript biography, written during Stefansson's lifetime in a calligraphic hand on a separate leaf.

First Edition
Hardcover. First Edition. pp. xvi, 556. 8vo., measuring 5.5" x 7.5". Original navy-blue cloth over boards, blue lettering to the spine. Sixteen unnumbered leaves of drawings, and photographic plates demonstrative of building various snowhouses, snowcamps, etc. Exceptionally well-preserved showing no detectable flaws to the cloth extremities, contents equally without blemish with bright, clean, and unmarked pages and firm, sound binding; fine and housed in good+ original, unclipped, dustjacket (bearing original price of $3.00) showing some light occasional chips to the edges of the panels, light sunning to the spine panel (now housed in protective mylar cover). Overall, very good. Sections include: Historical Background, Physical Geography, Climate and Weather, Light in Polar Regions, Animal Life, Vegetation, Shelter and Heat and Light, Food and Drink, Clothing and Personal Equipment (Eskimo Clothing - Procurement, Preparation of Skins, Use and Care), Health, Accident and Disease, Travel, Diet, Transportation, Hunting and Fishing, Mechanized Transport, et al. This all-important picture of the Arctic as it really is, by one of the world authorities on the subject, was originally prepared by Mr. Stefansson for the U.S. Army, to afford realistic advice on how to survive when stranded in that generally misunderstood region. Thus the book originated for practical use. However, it has proved so absorbing in its recounting of history and adventure, in its scientific explanations of the curious ways of nature, and in its plain human interest, that is now reissued with added material. The book presents a fascinatingly broad general view of the living and working conditions in the Arctic, which differ so greatly from those to which most of us have been accustomed.

Near fine. An exceptionally handsome, and most uncommon presentation of Stefįnsson's remarkable account of his expedition amongst the Inuit of the Mackenzie Delta region and northern Alaska in 1906-07; all in a rare translation into his native Icelandic. Rare in commerce in this edition, and binding. "Born in Arnes, Manitoba to Icelandic parents in 1879, the Canadian explorer Vilhjelmur Stefansson (born William Stephenson changing it to Icelandic form in 1899) grew up in North Dakota in the United States. In the first decade of the twentieth century Stefansson worked in Iceland for a time, before spending an extended period between 1906 and 1912 conducting ethnographic surveys of the Indigenous populations of the North American Arctic, spending the winter of 1906-7 with Inuit in the Mackenzie River delta in Yukon. In 1913 Stefansson organized the Canadian Arctic Expedition, arranged by the Canadian government to explore the sea west of the Parry Archipelago, the northernmost islands in the Canadian Arctic. The expedition set off from Nome, Alaska, but soon ran into trouble. The lead ship Karluk became trapped in ice and Stefansson disembarked to continue his travels, purportedly to gather provisions, but, in the eyes of the crew, in order to avoid drifting off course. The Karluk drifted westward in the ice floes, eventually being crushed in January 1914. Survivors attempted to reach Wrangel Island, north of Siberia, but many perished, either from carbon monoxide poisoning or from the severe cold. Eventually, the captain of the ship, Robert Bartlett with Inuit guide Kataktovik ventured across the sea ice first to Siberia and then to Nome, where they arrived in May 1914, and arranged a rescue party to pick up the rest of the survivors. Stefansson continued his expedition across the frozen Arctic for a further four years, discovering numerous islands that were unknown even to Inuit and better surveying many others. The Friendly Arctic is his published account of the expedition and was printed in 1922. " [Source: The Royal Collection Trust; Retrieved on Oct, 2021; The Manitoba Historical Society].

Martin Frobisher (d.1594) was an English seaman and privateer who made three voyages to the New World in search of a Northwest Passage. All landed in northeastern Canada, around the southern tip of Baffin Island. Frobisher there began mining what he thought was gold, what was proved to be gold upon assaying in London, but that later turned out to be only iron pyrite, thrown down onto roads as paving. It was not the end, however, as Frobisher distinguished himself in battle against the Spanish Armada. #86 of an edition limited to 475 copies.
