Excerpt from Ootah and His Puppy
The people of Greenland seem to have been in contact with white men long ago; for we find in the ruins of their houses Euro pean things from the Middle Ages. Indeed, the Cape York Eskimos have not quite forgotten these visits of strangers in big ships; they tell of them even now. They also tell of Ross, who discov ered them in 1818, and they'know that there was a scattering of explorers from that time, chiefly Americans like Kane, Hayes, and Hall. But it is true to life, as our author says, that many of the people who met Peary fifty years ago had never before seen Europeans.
