The Lure Of The Labrador Wild (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419171055)

The Lure Of The Labrador Wild is a non-fiction book written by Dillon Wallace, which tells the thrilling story of his expedition to the remote and rugged wilderness of Labrador in Canada. The book is based on the author's personal experiences and observations during his journey with his two companions, Leonidas Hubbard Jr. and George Elson, in the summer of 1903.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part describing the preparations and the journey to the interior of Labrador, while the second part focuses on the harrowing experiences they faced during their return journey. The author vividly describes the beauty and the challenges of the wilderness, including the harsh weather conditions, rugged terrain, and the dangers posed by wild animals.The book also explores the complex relationships between the three men, as they struggle to survive in the unforgiving wilderness. The author provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the tragic death of Hubbard, who succumbed to starvation and exhaustion. The book is a testament to the human spirit and the will to survive against all odds.Overall, The Lure Of The Labrador Wild is a gripping and inspiring account of a journey into the unknown, and a tribute to the courage and resilience of the human spirit. It is a must-read for anyone interested in adventure, 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.
