Danish Greenland

Abstract

THERE is a strange fascination about Greenland, which may be partly owing to the mystery that shrouds its early history,—partly to its being an almost Arctic country, the scanty population of which seems to furnish an example of a nation in the enjoyment of a very primitive culture; and partly because it seems very prob- able that it was from it started the voyagers who were the first discoverers of what is now called America.

Danish Greenland; its People and its Products.

Dr. Henry Rink Dr. Robert Brown With Illustrations by the Eskimo and a Map. (London: Henry S. King and Co., 1877.)
