I've been reading "The Arctic Adventures of Peter Freuchen" on your recommendation and find it to be very entertaining. His writing is very lucid and humorous. One story after another. Many of them are third hand stories, but always Freuchen knew the persons involved. Any time we get to feeling sorry for ourselves, it would be good to reflect on how the Eskimos lived before we started to "improve" their lives for them with modern conveniences. They had a completely different culture, morals, and philosophy that was adapted to their way of life. Theirs was a hard lot. They had to entertain choices in life that we would not even consider, and if we did we would be jailed for it. I'm glad to be able to read about those adventures, but I'm glad I missed them myself. It's a captivating book. Thanks for the recommendation.
