My Arctic Journal: A Year Among Ice-Fields And Eskimos (1893) is a memoir written by Josephine Diebitsch Peary, documenting her experiences during her year-long expedition to the Arctic with her husband, Robert E. Peary. The book is a first-hand account of the harsh conditions and challenges faced by the couple, as they traveled through the icy terrain and interacted with the indigenous Inuit people, whom they referred to as Eskimos.Josephine’s journal entries provide vivid descriptions of the Arctic landscape, including the ice-fields, glaciers, and frozen seas, as well as the wildlife that inhabit this unforgiving environment. She also writes about the daily routines of the Inuit people, their customs, and their way of life, offering a unique insight into a culture that was largely unknown to the outside world at the time.Throughout the book, Josephine reflects on the physical and emotional toll of the expedition, as well as the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated field. She also shares her thoughts on the importance of exploration and the pursuit of scientific knowledge, and the role that she and her husband played in expanding our understanding of the Arctic region.My Arctic Journal: A Year Among Ice-Fields And Eskimos is a fascinating and inspiring account of a remarkable journey, written by a pioneering woman who defied the conventions of her time and made her mark on history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
