The energy and daring of these men fuel this rare history set in the early twentieth century on the Arctic coast of Alaska and Canada. Together, the dynamic duo met the so-called, \"Blond Eskimos,\" fathered children by native women while finding the last new lands of the Americas and establishing a reindeer enterprise with the company that became Canada - the Hudson's Bay Company. During his rise to international fame, Stefansson included Storkerson in his journey but Storkerson's misdirection of his newly found fame resulted in catastrophic consequences for himself and his family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jette Elsebeth Ashlee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1425773923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781425773922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xlibris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.06d","brand":"Jette Elsebeth Ashlee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48444803743999,"sku":"9781425773922","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c38c3222-540f-4cd8-9f4a-3ffdb29c99bb.jpg?v=1777214658","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-arctic-epic-of-family-jette-elsebeth-ashlee-9781425773922","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
