A Woman's Way Through Unknown Labrador (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161419726)

A Woman's Way Through Unknown Labrador is a book written by Mrs. Leonidas Hubbard, detailing her journey through the unexplored wilderness of Labrador in 1905. The book is a first-hand account of her experiences, as she and her husband, Leonidas Hubbard, set out to explore the interior of Labrador. However, the expedition was fraught with difficulties, and Leonidas eventually succumbed to starvation and exhaustion. Mrs. Hubbard, left alone in the wilderness, was forced to find her way back to civilization, surviving against all odds. The book documents her struggles and triumphs, and provides a unique perspective on the challenges faced by women in the early 20th century. It is a powerful and inspiring story of courage, determination, and survival.Friday morning was warm and bright. It seemed wonderful to be having so much fine weather in Labrador, and not a fly or mosquito as yet. The one nuisance we had met was mice or lemmings. They had been busy with my hat in the night, and when I came to put it on that morning I found there was a hole eaten in the crown and a meal or two taken out of the brim. There seemed to be thousands of them, and they ran squealing about everywhere, great fat fellows, some of them as big as grey squirrels. The ground was so perforated with their holes that it reminded one of a porous plaster.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
