Inhaltsangabe

Newfoundland and its Untrodden Ways is one of the most outstanding books written about wildlife and hunting. Published in 1907, this classic work is a narrative of the travels by author John G. Millais as he explored and hunted caribou throughout the interior of Newfoundland. He also chronicled the hunting of whales near the island s coast. As one of the preeminent nature writers during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Millais imparts his love for the unspoiled beauty of Newfoundland. We experience the thrill of the hunt, while also appreciating the awe-inspiring splendour of nature and its creations. The book is lavishly illustrated with photographs, as well as copies of the author's own drawings and colour paintings.
