"As a young man American Hugh Beach went to live with the Saami reindeer hunters of Swedish Lapland. His personal story of trying to fit into the herding way of life is a rare insider's account of the Saami. In an afterword to this new edition of the book that was originally published in 1993, he revisits his old friends and looks at how Sweden is attempting to balance the conflicting needs of reindeer herders and environmentalists in the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET.
