Read Now Download Now
Duncan Pryde, an eighteen year old orphan ex-merchant seaman and disgruntled factory worker, decided to try his hand a fur trading and emigrated to Canada.

In Nunaga, Duncan Pryde tells of his discovery of a remote and primitive way of life to which, astonishingly, he found that he easily adapted.

One of his first posts was isolated Perry Island, then a refuge of fugitives from the law, where most of the male Eskimos were caught up in blood feuds. Pryde describes how, after a night-long flight, almost of the death, with the community bully, he won the respect and affection of these tough people, and came to share their life completely - all their concerns, joys and tribulations. he earned a degree of acceptance by the Eskimos that is granted to few white men; he witnessed the most sacred of Eskimo shaman ceremonies; he was paid the ultimate compliment - the invitation to share a friends wife.

His story abounds in high adventure - incredible, near-fatal sled and canoe journeys; seal, polar bear and caribou hunts; breathtaking encounters with the beauty of Arctic fauna.
