Summary "A Boy's-Eye View of the Arctic" by Kennett Longley Rawson is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The narrative depicts the experiences of a fourteen-year-old boy who embarks on an Arctic expedition as the cabin boy aboard the ship "Bowdoin", led by Commander Donald MacMillan. The book captures his sense of adventure and wonder as he explores the Arctic landscape and learns about the legacy of famous explorers who ventured before him. At the start of the memoir, Rawson reflects on his life before the adventure, including his excitement when his father proposes the invitation to join the expedition. He vividly describes his preparations, the anticipation of sailing, and the camaraderie he forms with the crew of the "Bowdoin". The opening also sets the stage for the challenges ahead as he becomes acclimated to life at sea and the work that awaits him on the voyage. This immersive introduction showcases a young boy's dreams colliding with the harsh realities of Arctic exploration, laying the groundwork for the adventures to come.
