Among the explorers made famous for revealing hitherto impenetrable cultures-T. E. Lawrence and Wilfred Thesiger in the Middle East, Richard Burton in Africa-Knud Rasmussen stands out not only for his physical bravery but also for the beauty of his writing. Part Danish, part Inuit, Rasmussen made a courageous three-year journey by dog sled from Greenland to Alaska to reveal the common origins of all circumpolar peoples. Lovers of Arctic adventure, exotic cultures, and timeless legend will relish this gripping tale by Stephen R. Bown, known as "Canada's Simon Winchester."

North Pole Legacy tells the story of two men whose existence was for decades nothing more than a popular legend. But that rumor was finally verified in 1986 when author S. Allen Counter journeyed to northern Greenland, and met this pair of remarkable men. Counter had long been an admirer of Matthew A. Henson, the African-American explorer who accompanied Admiral Robert E. Peary to the North Pole twice in early twentieth century. While conducting professional research in Sweden, Counter became intrigued by talk of mixed-race Inuit living in an isolated region of Greenland. Unable to forget this rumor, Counter traveled to investigate several years later, venturing more than a thousand miles north of the Arctic Circle. There, in two tiny villages, Counter met Anaukaq Henson and Kali Peary, Amer-Inuit sons of the two explorers. Born only days apart in 1906, they had long been acknowledged by their communities as the sons of Matthew Henson and Robert Peary, but had never been in contact with any of their American relatives. As it was obvious that these two men longed to see the country of their fathers, Counter arranged for Anakukaq, Kali, and their families to travel to America to meet their families. North Pole Legacy describes the obstacles that Counter overcame to bring news of Anaukaq Henson and Kali Peary to the world, to bring them to the United States, and to facilitate a reunion with relatives that they had never known. At the same time, the narrative flashes back to the unique history of Matthew Henson and Robert Peary in their collaboration as explorers and addresses their somewhat controversial claim to have been the first people to reach the North Pole. Compelling, insightful, and impossible to forget, North Pole Legacy is a must read for every history buff and armchair explorer.

A true story from the great age of Arctic exploration of an Inuit boy's struggle for dignity against Robert Peary and the American Museum of Natural History in turn-of-the-century New York City. Sailing aboard a ship called Hope in 1897, celebrated Arctic explorer Robert Peary entered New York Harbor with peculiar "cargo": Six Polar Inuit intended to serve as live "specimens" at the American Museum of Natural History. Four died within a year. One managed to gain passage back to Greenland. Only the sixth, a boy of six or seven with a precociously solemn smile, remained. His name was Minik. Although Harper's unflinching narrative provides a much needed corrective to history's understanding of Peary, who was known among the Polar Inuit as "the great tormenter", it is primarily a story about a boy, Minik Wallace, known to the American public as "The New York Eskimo." Orphaned when his father died of pneumonia, Minik never surrendered the hope of going "home," never stopped fighting for the dignity of his father's memory, and never gave up his belief that people would come to his aid if only he could get them to understand.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the idea of home came into focus as a place of warmth and comfort, associated with interior spaces and feminine touches. In the same period, writing about the Arctic as a frigid and inhospitable landscape proliferated. American readers were fascinated by stories of Arctic exploration and supposedly heroic feats of survival by rugged white men. Moving between these opposing pictures were a handful of white and northern Indigenous women who travelled between the eastern Arctic and America between 1890 and 1940 in connection with exploratory expeditions. Their journeys and recollections challenged prevailing ideas about home, the North, and the rightful place of women. At Home in the Cold brings to light the histories of five women involved in Arctic exploration. The stories of three white women explorers – Mina Hubbard, Josephine Peary, and her daughter, Marie Peary – reveal the importance of middle-class domestic ideology to understanding the history of Arctic exploration, as they sought to transform the Arctic into a more familiar environment. Their journeys are considered alongside the stories of two northern women – Eqariusaq, from Greenland, and Elizabeth Ford, born in Labrador – who travelled to the United States in connection with Arctic expeditions. They, too, made comparisons of eastern Arctic and American environments that were rooted in their experiences of the Arctic as a natural home. Representations of the Arctic as a difficult place to live continue to dominate outsider perceptions of the North as an inferior region, with significant implications for northern residents today. At Home in the Cold considers the colonial implications of home and domestic ideology in the Arctic context.
