Edward Beauclerk Maurice almost did not go to the Arctic. If a Hudson's Bay Company recruiter had not shown up at his English boarding school, the sixteen-year-old Maurice would have moved with his family to New Zealand and led a very different life. But his imagination had been captured, and he signed on to go. The Last Gentleman Adventurer: Coming of Age in the Arctic is Maurice's exhilarating true story of his struggles and triumphs living and working in the Canadian Arctic. hardcover |
