About This Book

A first-person narrative recounts an exploring expedition into the Labrador interior that becomes a tale of endurance after the author’s companion succumbs to hardship; vivid travel scenes describe difficult terrain, weather, and the struggle for food while the survivor records navigation errors, rescue efforts, a subsequent prolonged journey farther north by canoe and dog sledge, and later pilgrimages to mark the place of death. Themes of friendship, duty, religious faith, and memorialization run through descriptive natural-history passages, practical expedition detail, and reflective prefaces that interweave immediate field experience with later attempts to honor and interpret the lost companion’s character.
