Cited Quotation |
While on the subject of trapping I must relate what I know of Esau Gillingham, the notorious 'White Eskimo' of Gander Bay. [Consider, if more evidence is available, whether this is a widespread term for a white man who 'goes native' in Labr, or simply Harold Horwood's invented term] |
