Book Description
The Danish author and Christian minister, Hans Egede, pens the geographical novel, "A Description of Greenland". Following a request he made to be allowed permission to go to Greenland as a Christian missionary, Frederick IV, King of Denmark, issued an order to the magistrates at Bergen to make inquiries of all the masters of vessels and traders, who had been in Davis's Straits, concerning the state of the traffic with Greenland; and, at the same time, to learn their opinion about forming a new settlement upon that coast. Egede embarked for Greenland, with his wife and four small children, upon the 12th of May, 1721; and he landed in Ball's River, in the 64th degree of North latitude, upon the 3d of July, in the same year. The company on board the ship consisted of forty persons. They lost no time in building a house of stone and earth, upon an island near Kangek, which they called Haabets Oe, or Hope Island, after the name of the ship in which they had made the voyage. He published the Description of Greenland at Copenhagen, in the Danish language, the year preceding his death, which took place in 1758.
