Publisher's Synopsis
IN THE LAND OF THE FUR TRADER AND THE ESKIMO
Brave were the white men who risked the life, limb and family in the chill of the Great White North. But this New World beckoned, full of danger but also of vast promise.
The Hudson Bay Trading Company had tried to establish a treaty of peace between the Muskigon Indians of James Bay and the Eskimo of Hudson's Straits -- but violence still erupted.
Here is the story of an expedition from Moose Fort into the wild. Here is that tale of the brave traders George Stanley and Frank Morton, Dick Prince the hunter, Massan their guide and the others including Mrs. Stanley and the Stanley's young daughter Edith.
Here are their adventures.
And here, most memorably, is the noble giant Eskimo Maximus.
This is an exciting story of a time long ago, but still living in the top of Canada -- and in legend!
