First published in 1878, this English translation of the memoirs of Hans Hendrik (c.1834-89), a native Greenlander, provides a valuable alternative perspective on nineteenth-century polar expeditions. Hired for his knowledge of survival skills in Arctic conditions, Hendrik shows here how Inuit were sometimes poorly treated by their employers.
