A Woman's Way Through Unknown Labrador

The work offers a vivid, first‑hand chronicle of an early twentieth‑century expedition into the remote wilderness of Labrador’s Nascaupee and George River valleys. Drawing on Leonidas Hubbard Jr.’s original diary, the author weaves his observations with her own notes, creating a blended record that balances rugged adventure with meticulous geographical detail. Maps and latitude points drawn from the journey give listeners a clear sense of the terrain the explorers crossed.

Beyond the physical hardships—snow‑shoe treks, canoeing fierce rapids, and forging supplies from the land—the narrative captures encounters with the Nascaupee people and the daily rhythms of the frontier. The author’s determination to complete her husband’s unfinished work adds a personal, almost diary‑like honesty that brings the remote world to life. Listeners will hear the strain of weather, the quiet moments at camp, and the quiet resolve that drove the first documented crossing of this region.
