Excerpt from Letters From Labrador England and in America. The fact that so little can be found relating to the country would be a sufficient ex cuse for re-printing Mr. Burgin's letters; but it is believed that the articles themselves have value not only on account of the freshness of their matter, but the charm of their style. Although written without thought of permanent publication and with no efiort at orderly arrangement, the reader cannot fail to be struck by the vividness of the descriptions and the aptness of the language in these compositions. There are occa sioual sentences which haunt the mind like music. Mr. Durgin inherited from both parents a passionate love of Nature and a sensitive appreciation of its beauties; and he was endowed with the rarer gift of power to paint the scenes that he loved so well in a way to make eu during mental pictures for others.

A Trip to Labrador contains the letters and journal of Edward Caldwell Moore, who accompanied Sir Wilfred Grenfell to Labrador in 1905 on the hospital ship Strathcona. A Presbyterian minister and professor at Harvard University, Moore writes of his impressions of the land and the people and of the difficulties of travel and communications. He describes, in surprisingly frank terms, both the positive and negative aspects of Grenfell's early efforts as a doctor, justice of the peace and missionary.

The North seduces you. It can kill you too. Philip Schubert discovered the joys and dangers of travel in trackless wilderness starting in 1999 after reading Dillon Wallace's "The Lure of the Labrador Wild". He spent a decade retracing the routes in Labrador and northern Quebec described in "The Lure", in Wallace's follow-on book, "The Long Labrador Trail", and in Mina Hubbard's "A Woman's Way Through Unknown Labrador". Nothing in Dillon's early life as an impoverished youth on a farm suggested that he would still fascinate people nearly 150 years later. Dillon was blessed in fact with “Grit A'Plenty”, which no one would suspect from his unimpressive physique and unsmiling face. He pulled himself up by his bootstraps, rising from gristmill employee, to self-trained telegraph operator, to stenographer, to finally becoming a lawyer. His life from that point on, however, was equal parts tragic and heroic, but continued to be marked by splendid accomplishments. Starting at the age of 40 in 1903, he carried out a series of trips in Labrador and today's northern Quebec covering several thousand miles. No one person to date has been equal to the task of fully retracing them. The first trip sadly resulted in the tragic death of his trip leader and best friend, Leonidas Hubbard, and a narrow escape for him. His book on the trip, "The Lure of the Labrador Wild", published in 1904, became a best seller and is still in print. It would change Dillon's life forever. It told the story of the trip as it was documented in his and Leonidas' trip journals. Leonidas' widow, Mina Hubbard, who would be forever changed also due to the unbearable loss of “her laddie”, had commissioned the book. When Dillon refused to rewrite the book and make Leonidas into the larger than life figure she had been expecting, she became Dillon's sworn enemy for life. There then followed two extraordinary trips in 1905 across Labrador, following the route planned in 1903. Dillon led one. Mina, drawing on skills that no one had realized she had, led the other. She planned hers in secret, and then provoked a life-long estrangement from Leonidas' family by telling the press as she left that she suspected that Dillon played a role in her husband's death and was on her way to investigate it. A third fascinating figure, voyager George Elson, the other survivor of the first trip, safely canoed Mina the length of Labrador down some of the most challenging rivers that George and his crack team of outdoorsmen had ever seen. No one was more impressed than George, or more disappointed than Mina, when Dillon and his only team member, forestry student Clifford Easton, successfully completed the trip as well. The evidence that George, a heroic figure in his own right, had fallen in love with Mina and which may have motivated him to agree to organize the trip at Mina's behest, added another fascinating dimension to the saga. The 1905 trip formed the basis for Dillon's second book and he went on to publish another 25 books, becoming a legend in his time. This is the story of Dillon Wallace as told by Philip Schubert, with an introduction by Dillon's granddaughter, Amy McKendry. It includes extensively illustrated maps and dozens of Philip's photographs of the challenges faced and overcome in the wilds by the saga participants.
