The Lure Of The Labrador Wild (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161469653)

""The Lure of the Labrador Wild"" is a non-fiction book written by Dillon Wallace that chronicles the harrowing journey of Wallace and his companions through the uncharted wilderness of Labrador in the early 1900s. The book is a thrilling adventure story that takes readers on a journey through the rugged terrain of Labrador, where Wallace and his companions face numerous challenges and dangers, including treacherous rapids, harsh weather conditions, and encounters with wild animals.The book is divided into three parts, each of which details a different stage of the expedition. The first part describes the planning and preparation for the journey, including the selection of dogs and equipment, and the hiring of guides. The second part details the actual journey through the wilderness, including the challenges faced by the group and the close calls they experience. The final part describes the aftermath of the expedition, including the return home and the impact the journey had on the lives of those involved.Throughout the book, Wallace provides vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of Labrador, as well as the challenges and dangers that come with exploring such a remote and unforgiving landscape. The book is an inspiring tale of human endurance and determination, and a testament to the power of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It is a must-read for anyone interested in adventure stories, exploration, and the natural world.Of course I knew it was somewhere in the north-eastern part of the continent; but so many years had passed since I laid away my old school geography that its exact situation had escaped my memory, and the only other knowledge I had retained of the country was a confused sense of its being a sort of Arctic wilderness. Hubbard proceeded to enlighten me, by tracing with his pencil, on the fly- leaf of his notebook, an outline map of the peninsula.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
