About this Item

iii,257-328 pp. Octavo. Bound in limp black leather over thin card boards. Two maps. A fine clean copy. Arctic Biblio. 16850. Suppressed due to the threat of libel by Federick Cook. Half of this private edition went to Robinson, half to Stefansson. None were ever for sale. Very scarce. This copy has a great inscription to the pioneer Canadian arctic geologist and my friend Ray Thorsteinsson. "To R. Thorsteinsson, in tribute to the solution of the Krueger mystery in connection with his visit to Meighen Island from Vilhjalmur Stefansson August 2/57" A wonderful association of one arctic explorer to another with the solution to an arctic mystery tossed in and a connections to Cook! Rare to say the least.
