The New Northland is an adventure novel by L. P. Gratacap, an American writer and museum man who died in 1917. It belongs to the early twentieth century, when many readers loved tales of far lands and lost worlds, and when the Arctic still seemed a place where almost anything might lie hidden.

It gives you a voyage of discovery, a society far from ordinary life, and a test of nerve and judgment. Let us turn to the first key point: the pull of the unknown North.

The far North calls to explorers
Stories of this type begin with the lure of the Arctic. For readers in the early 1900s, the polar regions were blank spaces on the map. Expeditions made headlines, and people argued about what lay beyond the ice.
Gratacap wrote in that atmosphere. He worked in natural history, and his fiction often shows a taste for science, geography and the wonders of nature. A reader can expect the North to be treated as a real place with real dangers, and also as a place of wonder.
This pull of the unknown drives the whole book. It asks what a person will risk to see what no one has seen.
That’s 1 of 4 key points.
