COPLAND, Dudley. Livingstone of the Arctic. With a Foreword by A.Y. Jackson. Ottawa : Published by the Author, (1967). Pp 183. Illustrated. 8vo, white cloth. A biography of Leslie Livingstone. "A later appointment as surgeon of the Canadian government expedition ship Arctic took him north for four annual voyages. From contacts with groups of Eskimo, he became aware of the human problems of the Arctic and urged the government to establish a research station at Pangnirtung on Baffin Island. [...] Following his appointment as Chief Medical Officer of his government department, his duties took him to the west coast of Hudson Bay and later to Aklavik where there was scope for his many talents. His principal duties were to attend two well-equipped hospitals and a population of over fifteen hundred Indians and Eskimos in the Mackenzie River delta. In his position as senior government official a multitude of tasks had to be performed, but he found time to establish the first dairy farm ever operated in Canada above the Arctic Circle." - from the dj.
