Dr. Samuel King Hutton (1877-1961) a medical doctor who was secretary to the Moravian Missions, The author was a missionary and a traveler who has made the Eskimos his "friends." Hutton was a medical missionary in charge of the Moravian Mission Hospital at Okak in Northern Labrador and writes as one who knows the Innuit. Hutton writes:"Little John is a middle-aged Eskimo; a squarely built, shaggy-headed little man, a clever hunter, and hard enough to be well and happy among all the hard weather and rough raw food of an Eskimo village. John drove my dog-sledge in the winter; he was a famous builder of snow houses, and the most wonderful pathfinder I ever saw. Once upon a time we were camped in a tiny snow house of his building, and with much labour because of the frosty air and the thick gloves I wore I was writing with my pencil in a notebook. John puffed at his pipe and watched me. " What are you writing?" said he. " I am writing about this journey," said I. " Why do you not write about our village?" said John. And so, because of what little John said, I have taken my pen and am writing about our village."

This book endeavors to give an idea of Eskimo life by means of the author's travel experiences by Dr. S. K. Hutton, who was himself a part of all he saw. His readers are given a vivid picture of the hardships the author cheerfully bore, but regarding his success in evangelizing the natives there is very little said. Tells not only of adventurous journeys by boat and sledge but also "of the Eskimos as they are in their daily life, and something of the land and the homes in which they dwell. "The long, bitterly cold journeys, the hospitality of the stifling huts, the loyalty and endurance of the Eskimo drivers are well described. We shiver in sympathy with the cold, tired missionary who pushes his feet into a fine thick sleeping-bag, only to meet with an icy mass of half-frozen snow, and we almost envy the Eskimos, who, with no bed but the dogs' harness, are sleeping comfortably near by! Missionary work proper is almost confined to the last two chapters.
