King, Paul; De Coccola, Raymond
The Incredible Eskimo - Life Among the Barren Land Eskimo
435 pages. For twelve arduous but captivating years, Raymond de Coccola was, for all intents and purposes, a Barren Land Eskimo. An unforgettable portrait of adventure, of murder, of sexual mores. It is Father Raymond's touching first-person revelation of birth and of death, of patience and of fatalism; and it is a staggering account of his people's tragedy and loss. It is also a story of survival and hope. Bookplate upon front flyleaf. Unmarked. Average wear. Binding intact. Reading creases along spine. Includes a large assortment of excellent black and white plates. Book
