Book Recommendation: The Lure of the Labrador Wild

[Chew]

This book is outstanding. I saw a quick reference to it on another thread or heard about it on a podcast...not sure. But I glad I wrote a note to check it out.

An amazingly detailed journal/narrative of survival that includes lots of fishing, hunting, navigation, canoeing, and fight for survival. Three gents try to explore parts of Labrador that no white men had ever seen and they take a few wrong turns (understatement). Took place in 1903 I believe. But book reads well with mostly modern language.

Here's a link to some free versions. The HTML link is good for reading it on a computer. I got the kindle version. If you're an outdoorsman, you will love it.

Sounds like a great book. I have never listened audio book before, might have to change that.
