Synopsis
Excerpt from Labrador
It has been said by some one, within recent years, that all the places now unexplored were so miserably bad that no one would care to have anything to do with them. The caribou country or northeastern Labrador may or may not be an exception to this rule. There are worse regions to wander in. Moreover, the people are to be considered. Not every one cares for native races, but most wilderness travelers do. I have myself found the Labrador people well worth while.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a unique and personal insight into the rugged and untamed wilderness of Northern Labrador. Published in 1915, the author embarks on an expedition to the interior, discovering a world frozen in time since the last ice age with vast, untouched lake systems and barren ground.

His encounters with the Naskapi people, the original inhabitants of the region, reveal their intimate and spiritual connection with the land. The author also explores the role of the fur trade and the exploitation of resources, highlighting the region's complex relationship with the outside world.
