My Arctic Journal: A Year Among Ice-Fields And Eskimos is a non-fiction book written by Josephine Diebitsch Peary in 1893. The book is a first-hand account of her experiences during her year-long stay in the Arctic, where she accompanied her husband, Robert Peary, on his expedition to explore the region. The book is divided into 12 chapters, each representing a month of the year, and details the challenges and adventures faced by the author and her husband in the harsh Arctic environment. The author describes the natural beauty of the region, including the ice-fields, glaciers, and wildlife, such as polar bears and seals. She also provides insights into the daily life of the Inuit people, whom she and her husband encountered during their expedition. Throughout the book, the author shares her personal reflections and observations on the Arctic landscape, the Inuit culture, and the challenges of living in such a remote and unforgiving environment. She also includes numerous photographs and illustrations, which provide a visual representation of the Arctic landscape and the people who inhabit it. Overall, My Arctic Journal: A Year Among Ice-Fields And Eskimos is a fascinating and informative account of a woman's journey into the Arctic wilderness during a time when such expeditions were rare and challenging. It offers a unique perspective on the region and its people, and provides insights into the physical and emotional challenges of living in such a harsh environment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
