Arctic Justice: On Trial for Murder, Pond Inlet, 1923
Arctic Justice: On Trial for Murder, Pond Inlet, 1923 by Shelagh D. Grant, published in hardcover by McGill-Queen's University Press in 2002. This illustrated historical study includes photographs, maps, bibliographical references, and an index.
