TO THE MEMORY OF MY WIFE
“ A drear and desolate shore! Where no tree unfolds its leaves, And never the spring wind weaves Green grass for the hunter’s tread; A land forsaken and dead, Where the ghostly icebergs go And come with the ebb and flow...”
Whittier’s “The Rock-tomb of Bradore.”
PREFACE
In the summer of 1903 when Leonidas Hubbard, Jr., went to Labrador to explore a section of the unknown interior it was my privilege to accompany him as his companion and friend. The world has heard of the disastrous ending of our little expedition, and how Hubbard, fighting bravely and heroically to the last, finally succumbed to starvation.
Before his death I gave him my promise that should I survive I would write and publish the story of the journey. In “The Lure of The Labrador Wild” that pledge was kept to the best of my ability.
