Ada ​Blackjack: A true story of survival in the Arctic - by Jennifer Niven

Ada was an Iñupiaq woman who joined an arctic expedition in the 1920s. The expedition got stranded on Wrangel Island, and slowly all the (somewhat foolishy unprepared) explorers died or disappeared, leaving Ada to fend for herself for almost two years. She survived, and the book uses her diary among other sources to tell her story.
