Beskrivelse af The Long Labrador Trail
The Long Labrador Trail is a non-fiction book written by Dillon Wallace, first published in 1907. The book is a personal account of the author's journey with his three companions through the wilderness of Labrador, Canada. The book is divided into 17 chapters, each detailing a different part of their journey.The book begins with the author and his companions setting out from North West River in Labrador, with the goal of reaching Ungava Bay. The journey is fraught with danger and difficulties, as they face harsh weather conditions, treacherous terrain, and encounters with wild animals. Along the way, the author describes the beauty of the wilderness and the challenges of survival in such a remote and unforgiving landscape.The author also provides insights into the culture and way of life of the indigenous people they encounter, including the Inuit and the Montagnais. He describes their customs, traditions, and beliefs, as well as their skills in hunting and fishing.The Long Labrador Trail is a classic of Canadian literature, and is regarded as one of the best books ever written about Labrador. It is a compelling and vivid account of a journey through one of the most rugged and beautiful wilderness areas in the world. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in adventure, exploration, and the natural world.The real work of the trip was now to begin, the hard portaging, the trail finding and trail making, and we were to break the seal of a land that had, through the ages, held its secret from all the world, excepting the red man. This is what we were thinking of when we gathered around our camp fire that evening, and filled and lighted our pipes and puffed silently while we watched the newborn stars of evening come into being one by one until the arch of heaven was aglow with the splendor of a Labrador night. And when we at length went to our bed of spruce boughs it was to dream of strange scenes and new worlds that we were to conquer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
