At sixteen, Edward Beauclerk Maurice impulsively signed up with the
Hudson's Bay Company -- the company of Gentleman Adventurers -- and
ended up at an isolated trading post in the Canadian Arctic, where
there was no communication with the outside world and only one ship
arrived each year. But he was not alone. The Inuit people who
traded there taught him how to track polar bears, build igloos, and
survive ferocious winter storms. He learned their language and
became completely immersed in their culture, earning the name
Issumatak, meaning "he who thinks."
In The Last Gentleman Adventurer, Edward Beauclerk Maurice relates
his story of coming of age in the Arctic and transports the reader
to a time and a way of life now lost forever.
