"'Augustine Tataneuck never became a house- hold name, in Canada or anywhere else,' Fossett writes in her crisp, accessible prose. But his was a remarkable life, at a remarkable moment in history. Fossett has captured all of that and more in an impressively researched, thoughtfully organized, and essential work: a triumph of biography." -Literary Review of Canada "Fans of Arctic history will find this book a highly engaging read." -Canada's History Magazine "Renee Fossett's careful research ensures that the life of Augustine Tataneuck, Inuk interpreter and guide, will be remembered, with respect." -Julie Rak, co-editor of Life Among the Qallunaat "Fossett has done a formidable job." -Winnipeg Free Press
