The book’s author has an earlier title listed on Amazon, it’s about the Dorsets, but I don’t remember if it’s still available. Seems like it would have been a big seller. ;’)

The Dorset people — a 'paleo-Eskimo' culture that disappeared (wink wink) from the Canadian Arctic when the Thule Inuit arrived — are known from archeological investigations to have used Cape York meteoric iron for centuries."

What's the big mystery? Didn't the Dorsets use the iron to pay the Vikings for passage to Britain, then migrate to a particular area of England, now called Dorsetshire, and become sheep herders? There's even a breed named for them.
