The Lure of the Labrador Wild (Paperback)

In the late spring of 1903 Leonidas Hubbard, an ambitious young writer, Dillon Wallace, a forty-year-old New York attorney, George Elson, and an Indian guide with no firsthand knowledge of their destination, set out on an adventure. Beset by delays, the men paddled past their intended route. When in early September they finally glimpse the vast waters of Michikamau from atop an unknown mountain, the cold winds have already begun. With almost no food left, the three begin a desperate struggle against starvation and the quickening pace of a cruel winter, heading homeward in a race for their lives.
