Hardcover. First Edition, First Printing. pp. 96. Slim 4to. Pictorial boards. Black-and-white maps, photographs, charts, tables, illustrations, et al. Light rubbing to the covers, library stamp and pocket affixed to the rear pastedown. Text-block remains bright, clean, and unmarked otherwise with tight, sound binding. Overall, very good. Evidence gathered suggests that for both the people of the Stony Rapids Region and the Beverly Herd of caribou: 1) traditional pursuit of trapping has fallen into disfavour and no one is living solely off the land; 2) the local village economy based on wage employment can support very few people above poverty level; 3) most native adults are dependent on welfare payments for several months of the year.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Illustrated by Kupsch, W.O.; Rowley, G.W. (illustrator). First English Edition. "At the age of 34 Bernhard Hantzsch left Dresden in July, 1909, with the material support of several German scientific groups to explore the west coast of Baffin Island. He had already carried out summer zoological expeditions to Iceland and Ungava Bay, and knew something of the conditions he was likely to encounter. He planned to rely on the help of the Eskimos and to travel with them from Cumberland Sound across Baffin Island to Foxe Basin, north and west to Fury and Hecla Strait, and then on to Pond Inlet. Although these journeys had all been made by Eskimos, the country was completely unknown to white men. Hantzsch's account describes in great detail how he achieved part of his objective, the difficulties he encountered, and the sickness that caused his death on the coast of Foxe Basin, near the mouth of the river that now bears his name." - Foreword. pp. xxii, 396. Bibliography, Eskimo Glossary, General Index, Natural History Index. Text in English, translated from the German. Pristine 25"x19" two-colour map entitled "Bernhard Adolf Hantzsch's Journey 1910-1911 A Map" stored in pocket inside back board. Remnant of small address label atop front free endpaper otherwise book tight, clean and unmarked with moderate wear. Average wear to dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart.
