Through trackless Labrador

A rugged odyssey across Labrador unfolds as a small party of hunters sets out from the Atlantic shore, marching inland over an uncharted plateau. With only a thin ration and a canoe, they follow the migratory trails of caribou, sinking carcasses into snow‑fed lakes to secure a retreat route. Along the way the landscape shifts from icy bays to dense spruce, each season leaving its own stark fingerprint on the journey.

Beyond the chase, the narrative pauses to reveal the quiet strength of the region’s missionaries and Indigenous communities. The Moravian, Deep Sea and Continental missions appear not as grand spectacles but as steady presences shaping daily life among the Eskimo and Nascaupee peoples. Readers are invited into campfires, canoe camps, and the occasional bear‑ravenous ravine, gaining a vivid sense of a land where survival, faith, and the raw beauty of nature coexist.
