Great Heart: The History of a Labrador Adventure
written by John Rugge & James Davidson, edited by Philip Turner, introduction by Howard F. Mosher

In 1903 Leonidas Hubbard was commissioned by an outdoor magazine to explore Labrador by canoe. Joined by his friend Dillon Wallace, and a Scots-Cree guide, Hubbard hoped to make a name for himself as an adventurer. Plagued by poor judgement and bad luck, his party turned back and Hubbard died of starvation just thirty miles from camp. Two years later, Hubbard's widow, Mina, and Wallace returned to Labrador, leading rival expeditions to complete the original trek. Great Heart is a fascinating reconstruction of the race that made headlines from New York to Nova Scotia.

"A compelling story...deserves a place...next to great adventure books such as Kon Tiki and ...Call of the Wild."
--William Breyfogle, Milwaukee Journal
