Frobisher Bay. 1986. Blacklead Books. 1st Canadian Edition. A Few Pen Marks On The Bottom Corner Of The Front Free Endpaper, Otherwise very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. 0920245781. 275 pages. paperback. keywords: Biography Eskimo History. FROM THE PUBLISHER-In his search for the North Pole at the turn of the twentieth century, the renowned Robert E. Peary, long celebrated as an icon of modern exploration, used the Eskimos of northwestern Greenland as the human resources for his expeditions. Sailing aboard a ship called Hope in 1897, Peary entered New York harbor with six Eskimos as his cargo. Depositing them with the American Museum of Natural History as live ‘specimens' to be poked, measured, and observed by the paying public, Peary abruptly abandoned any responsibility for their care. Four of the Eskimos 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, orphaned and adrift in a bewildering metropolis. His name was Minik. Here, a century after the fact, is his story. A searing true tale of extraordinary darkness told with intensity and vigilance, GIVE ME MY FATHER'S BODY is Kenn Harper's absorbing, intricately documented account of ruthless imperialism in the name of science, of cruel deceptions and false burials, and of the short, strange, and tragic life of the boy known as the New York Eskimo. inventory #28707.
