The Lure Of The Labrador Wild

Beschreibung

Together with their Indian tour guide George Elson, Leonidas Hubbard and Dillon Wallace set out in 1903 to explore a part of Labrador that had not yet been thoroughly explored by Europeans. They followed the Susan Valley instead of the Nascaupee River River in their quest to investigate Lake Michikamau, which led them into the heart of Labrador and onto a course for which they were unprepared. The three guys immediately discovered that their adventure was rapidly turning into a battle for their lives as the chilly winter winds began to blow. I was engrossed in this book and wondered how anyone could have made it through this ordeal. It is nice to read of Dillon's courage and strength. Incredibly, they didn't grumble despite having to carry 100-pound loads of gear and a canoe while eating little to no food and walking through snow in only moccasins. They also lifted each other's spirits by sharing bible tales and anecdotes about their homes.
