　　At sixteen, Edward Beauclerk Maurice impulsively signed up

with the Hudson's Bay Company -- the company of Gentleman

Adventurers -- and ended up at an isolated trading post in the

Canadian Arctic, where there was no communication with the outside

world and only one ship arrived each year. But he was not alone.

The Inuit people who traded there taught him how to track polar

bears, build igloos, and survive ferocious winter storms. He

learned their language and became completely immersed in their

culture, earning the name Issumatak, meaning “he who thinks.”

In The Last Gentleman Adventurer, Edward Beauclerk Maurice

relates his story of coming of age in the Arctic and transports the

reader to a time and a way of life now lost forever.

Foreword by　Lawrence Millman

Part One　THE BOY

Part Two　ISSUMATAK

　　EDWARD BEAUCLERK MAURICE, after serving in the New Zealand

navy during World War II, became a bookseller in an English village

and rarely traveled again. He died in 2003, as this book was being

readied for publication.
