The Long Labrador Trail
_By_
DILLON WALLACE
ILLUSTRATED BY PHOTOGRAPHS
"It's always the way, Wallace! When a fellow starts on the long trail,
he's never willing to quit. It'll be the same with you if you go with me
to Labrador. When you come home, you'll hear the voice of the wilderness
calling you to return, and it will lure you back again."
It was Leonidas Hubbard, the heroic explorer, who spoke these words to
Dillon Wallace when they were lying by a camp fire in the snow-covered
Shawangunk mountains where they planned the trip that cost them
indescribable suffering, and Hubbard his life.
"The work must be done, Wallace, and if one of us falls before it is
completed the other must finish it."
Wallace returned to keep the compact, and "The Long Labrador Trail" is
the story of marvelous adventure, discovery, and brilliant description
of the exploration of the land that lured, the hitherto unknown country,
where the Eskimo builds his _igloo_ and hunts the walrus and the seal.
The story is one of brave and successful exploration, of interesting
anecdote, of human feeling, with scientific accuracy characterizing the
fund of information, and many photographs illuminating the text.
