Tundra: selections from the great accounts of Arctic land voyages

Mowat, Farley 1921-2014 (Author).

Summary: Tundra - the gigantic Arctic land mass, dubbed "The Barren Lands" stretching across the top of North America, from Hudson Bay to the Pacific. The Europeans who explored it - Hearne, Mackenzie, Russell and many more - were of rare mettle: adventurous, determined, courageous. Their first-person chronicles are collected and embellished here by Farley Mowat, whose compelling commentary enlivens the already gripping sccounts. Hearkening to a past of high drama, Tundra focuses on the intriguing grandeur and harshness of the northern world and the magnitude of the human effort needed to penetrate and conquer it.
