Inhaltsangabe

This book charts the adventure and exploration of the Canadian coastlines, most notably Labrador, through a series of detailed essays. As a historical survey, the book examines the efforts of early explorers, from the Norse settlers of the 10th century to the Victorian expeditions of the 18th and 19th. Through the author's personal travels along the coastlines, the book also provides present-day perspectives on this vast and largely unpopulated area of North America. This intermingling of historical events and accounts of the landscape provides a captivating travelogue along with meticulous research of archival documents, including maps and the journals of early explorers. The author places this remote region into historical and geographical context, capturing the wonder and daring of those who first ventured to discover this piece of the world.
