[1] has stamp indicating that this volume was not accessioned by a Harvard University library; although it is not explicitly stated, this volume was apparently formerly owned by physical anthropologist Carleton S. Coon, as evidenced by his pencilled annotation, "How Eski…mos Carve Ivory," on p. [1]; back cover has a blue fountain-pen annotation in some Arabic or other Middle Eastern language, seemingly complicating the provenance; outer edges and p. [1] have some foxing; body of text clean. 54 p., with 3 illustrations. Contents: dr. james laws' journal of the kane relief expedition of 1855 -- reminiscences of grenfell of labrador -- arctic ivory and its working -- early gold mining in frozen ground -- an explorer's adventures in verse -- stefansson collection news -- dartmouth in the polar regions.
