Photographs and Two Diaries of the 1901 Peary Relief Expedition
this picture. An analysis of these photographs, in relation to what has been written on the subject of exploration, imperialism, and European/White depictions of Aboriginal peoples would have produced a much stronger book. There are references to some of the photographs of the Inuit in the introduction, for example. The title of exploration. However, for the reader with a general interest in the north it is not particularly riveting as the book relates a travels of a small expedition into the north to help a far more important and well known explorer. While the photographs have an antiquarian appeal they do not make up for the larger deficiencies in this book.
