About this book

A summer holiday in Labrador begins with a rough sea crossing and a young visitor's confidence that the wilderness will provide all he needs. Shad Trowbridge, fresh from his first year at college, arrives from Boston at Fort Pelican in July 1890 with a canoe and plans for fishing and exploration. His search for a guide introduces the speech and practical knowledge of local trappers, setting his enthusiasm against their warnings about food and hardship.

Dillon Wallace's adventure novel for young readers moves through river routes, portage trails and remote camps. Ed, Dick and Bill investigate an abandoned camp and question Manikawan's motives, while Bob offers a different explanation for her movements. The tension comes from uncertain information as well as difficult country.
