Lure of the Labrador Wild

In the summer of 1903, three men set out to canoe an unmapped river through the heart of Labrador's interior. Their goal was glory: to be the first to navigate the Naskaupi River to Lake Michikamau, a journey of over two hundred miles through wilderness that had claimed no less a explorer than Henry Hudson. What followed was a slow-motion catastrophe. Wrong turns, dwindling supplies, and the merciless boreal autumn turned ambition into a fight for survival. By October, two of the three men were dead, and the sole survivor, the author Dillon Wallace, had lived to tell a tale that would haunt him for the rest of his life. This is not adventure as triumph; it is adventure as reckoning. The Labrador Wild does not care about your plans. It is a stark, unflinching account of what happens when men underestimate the North.
