Why read it?

1 author picked A Winter Circuit of Our Arctic Coast as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The oldest of my choices, published in 1920, this classic account of an epic 2,000-mile dogsled journey in northern Alaska, written by an Episcopal missionary, still makes lists of the best books about the 49th state. A masterpiece of adventure and ethnography, with lyrical descriptions of nature, A Winter Circuit is the work of a man not only deeply and widely read about polar exploration and the history of the Far North, but also keenly aware of the social forces bearing down on Alaskaā€™s Native peoples, and eager to support and defend their time-honed way of life.
