The Fall of Torngak: Or The Moravian Mission on the Coast of Labrador is a historical book written by J.W. Davey in 1905. The book tells the story of the Moravian Mission, a group of missionaries who established a settlement on the coast of Labrador in the late 18th century. The book chronicles the struggles of the missionaries as they attempted to convert the indigenous Inuit people to Christianity, and the eventual collapse of their mission due to various factors, including disease and conflicts with the Inuit. The book provides a detailed account of the mission's history, including the daily lives of the missionaries and the Inuit people, as well as the political and social context of the time.
