Hunting in the Arctic and Alaska (Classic Reprint)

This book is an account of a summer hunting trip to the Arctic by a group of four experienced outdoorsmen: Alfred Collins, Wilson Potter, Gilpin Lovering, and E. Marshall Scull, the author. Their primary objective was to find and hunt walrus and polar bear, but the author's descriptions of the hunting trips are just one aspect of this exciting narrative. The author provides insights into the natural history of the Arctic, descriptions of the people they met, and the challenges of travel in extreme conditions. From walrus hunting near Herald Island to polar bear encounters on the ice floes, the author shares his group's experiences and adventures, painting a vivid picture of the far north. His book has remained in print for over a century and continues to be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Arctic.
