He chronicles months of arduous travel—from Red Bay to Mud Lake and beyond—through brutal cold, treacherous terrain, and unpredictable weather. Along the way, he forms rough-and-ready friendships, offers comfort to the dying, and reflects on the isolation and devotion required to serve in remote Labrador.

- See how ministers adapt, endure, and find moments of grace in small, remote settlements.
- Meet the people of the coast, from seasoned elders to eager young families, and witness their resilience.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating account of a young Methodist missionary's experiences in Labrador, a desolate and inhospitable land in the early 1900s where he found himself alone among poor and needy half-breeds and Eskimos. The author, Arminius Young, spent two years in Labrador as a missionary and his book records his experiences and observations during that time. His vivid descriptions of the people, the landscape, and the challenges he faced bring to life the harsh realities of missionary life in this remote and unforgiving environment. Young's inspiring account provides valuable insights into the lives of the indigenous people and the challenges faced by missionaries working in isolated and inhospitable regions.
