The Magnetic North is a non-fiction book written by Elizabeth Robins. The book is a travelogue that chronicles Robins' journey to the Arctic regions of Canada. The author describes her experiences and observations during her travels, including her encounters with the indigenous people of the region and their way of life. She also provides insights into the harsh conditions and natural beauty of the Arctic landscape, as well as the impact of climate change on the region. The Magnetic North is a compelling and insightful account of one woman's journey to the top of the world, and a study of the people and places that make up this unique and fascinating part of the world.Of course they were bound for the Klondyke. Every creature in the North-west was bound for the Klondyke. Men from the South too, and men from the East, had left their ploughs and their pens, their factories, pulpits, and easy-chairs, each man like a magnetic needle suddenly set free and turning sharply to the North; all set pointing the self-same way since that July day in '97, when the Excelsior sailed into San Francisco harbour, bringing from the uttermost regions at the top of the map close upon a million dollars in nuggets and in gold-dust.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
