- catalog abstract "Ruby writes two parallel stories. First, nineteenth-century American Charles Francis Hall studied the oral tradition of the Inuit -- the "Eskimo"--In the remote Canadian Arctic region, as stories passed down through generations. In them, Hall made a shocking discovery. During Queen Elizabeth I's time, pirate Martin Frobisher set out with the queen's blessing and faith on a mission to find the Northwest Passage. When the dream turned into a nightmare, the island colony died, despite establishing England's presence in North America. Frobisher's exploration was lost to history -- until Hall publicized the Inuit legends of the first English colonists.".
