    REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

    • NOW PLAYING

    The frozen wilderness of the Far North has long tested the most extreme and reckless of adventurers.

    • Author: Pierre Berton
    • Softcover; 328 pages; black-and-white photos
    • Carroll & Graf Publishers; copyright 2004

    In his fiftieth and last book, legendary narrative historian Pierre Berton portrays five extraordinary characters held in thrall to the Arctic's forbidding landscapes, people whose desire for adventure exceeded even their instinct to survive.

    Meet Joe Boyle, who built the largest gold dredges in the world; Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who claimed to have discovered a tribe of "Blond Eskimos"; Lady Jan Franklin, who set out on a transcontinental journey in search of her lost husband; John Hornby, the fatally charismatic "hermit of the tundra" who lured two youths to their death; and Robert Service, the Bard of the North, who became the wealthiest and best-known poet of his day. Berton applies his finely honed talents to the magnificent exploits of these dazzling personalities, weaving their stories of courage, fortitude, and recklessness with an unquenchable love for the harsh North. With his sharp eye for detail and faultless ear for a good story, he shows why he was one of the world's most popular historians.

    Made in USA.
