Synopsis
This book charts the adventure and exploration of the Canadian coastlines, most notably Labrador, through a series of detailed essays.

This intermingling of historical events and accounts of the landscape provides a captivating travelogue along with meticulous research of archival documents, including maps and the journals of early explorers. The author places this remote region into historical and geographical context, capturing the wonder and daring of those who first ventured to discover this piece of the world.
