Kurzbeschreibung
Wife of self-proclaimed North Pole discoverer Robert Edwin Peary, Josephine Peary was the first woman apart from the Inuit to take part in an Arctic expedition. My Arctic Journal, unavailable for nearly a century, is Peary's memoir of the time she spent, from June of 1891 to August of 1892, accompanying her husband and his exploration party across the northernmost expanses of Greenland. Peary recounts in detail the hardships of life in the frozen North, and describes at length the customs of the Inuit natives, among whom she spent a great deal of time. She also tells of her experiences hunting near the top of the world, and gives her impressions of the other members of the expedition, who included explorers Dr. Frederick Cook and Matthew Henson. Richly illustrated and written with candor and emotion, My Arctic Journal is a unique gem of an exploration memoir.

Ruined with anti-Peary intro
22. Juni 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
This marvelous Josephine Peary classic of women's exploration is a public domain work that anyone may reprint. This facsimile version has poorly rendered photos and a depressing introduction. Josephine was a fearless pioneer with her own side arm and a Winchester rifle to hunt even 4,000-pound walrus! She tirelessly worked with the Eskimo women learning their language and organizing the sewing of clothing from furs for her husband's expedition. However, this "new" introduction is overly long, overly negative, and reveals an agenda with the events 17 years later when Peary reached the North Pole. Skip the intro! But do enjoy Josephine's story that is intelligent, detailed, and very nicely written.
