Description: Life with the Esquimaux by Charles Francis Hall First published in 1864, this two-volume work is an account by the American explorer Charles Francis Hall (1821–71) of his journey to the Arctic to investigate the fate of Sir John Franklins 1847 expedition. In Volume 1 he describes the life of the Inuit people with whom he lived. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In 1860, Charles Francis Hall (1821–71), the American polar explorer, embarked on the first of two voyages to the Canadian Arctic region aimed at investigating the fate of Sir John Franklins lost expedition of 1847. During his time in the Arctic, Hall lived amongst the Inuit community, learning their language and embracing their everyday life. First published in 1864, Halls recollections remain of great interest to anthropologists, sociologists and geographers. His eye-witness accounts of the indigenous peoples dwellings, interpersonal relationships, hunting pursuits, birth and death rites, methods of transport, and survival strategies in severe weather conditions provide an insight into Inuit culture in the nineteenth century. Volume 1 describes Halls journey north, arrival at Holsteinborg, the Danish administrative centre in Greenland, and onward voyage to Baffin Island, where his search for traces of Franklin, and his experience of Inuit life, began.
