Publisher's Synopsis
""The History of Greenland V1-2"" is a comprehensive account of the country's past, written by David Crantz and first published in 1820. The book covers a wide range of topics, from the earliest known settlements in Greenland to the arrival of European explorers and missionaries. One of the main focuses of the book is the mission carried out by the United Brethren, a Christian organization that sought to convert the indigenous population to Christianity. Crantz provides detailed descriptions of the customs, beliefs, and way of life of the Greenlanders, as well as their interactions with the Europeans who came to their shores. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first covering the history of Greenland up to the 18th century, and the second focusing on the period from the 18th century to the time of publication. Overall, ""The History of Greenland V1-2"" is a fascinating look at a little-known corner of the world and the people who have inhabited it for centuries.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
