About this book
A medical call in Labrador sends Dr. Wilfred Grenfell onto the ice with a sled loaded with instruments and dressings. Fullerton L. Waldo builds this biographical account around such episodes of practical service and physical danger, beginning with Grenfell's boyhood beside the Irish Sea in Cheshire. The early scenes bring together his delight in swimming and boats and a painful lesson in the sea's power when a friend's fishing trip ends in tragedy.
Later chapters turn to northern waters, dog teams, wildlife and the demands of reaching people who need a doctor. An April 1908 episode follows an urgent request from sixty miles away and introduces the dogs chosen for the trip, each with a distinct temperament. Waldo explains that some minor details and conversations have been adapted, so the book combines a factual life with dramatized scenes.
