Description

In the late 1920s, a young Norwegian barrister made his way by river boat, canoe, and portage to an area north-east of Great Slave Lake. There, in the Canadian Arctic, he lived as a trapper in the company of native and white trappers and hunters. When he first arrived in the North, people in the river communities used to bet on the date of arrival of the river boats. When he stopped at Fort Resolution on his way out four years later, he found everyone talking excitedly about aviation -- and the bets were on the arrival-time of planes.
