| الوصف: | "In 1903, Leonidas Hubbard starved to death on an expedition to Labrador, at that time a largely unmapped part of the northern wilderness. His wife, Mina Benson Hubbard, resolved to complete her husband's work, becoming a skilled explorer in her own right. She set out in July 1905 and not only carried out her expedition in record time but created the first accurate map of the Labrador river system, thus correcting the earlier map that had led to her husband's death." "A woman's way through unknown Labrador, Hubbard's own account of her extraordinary accomplishments, gives us the perspective of an early twentieth-century woman on the landscape, on the people she met - including Innu, Cree, Inuit, and Metis - and on the journey itself. This memoir reveals how she gradually came to terms with her husband's death, gained confidence in her own abilities, and discovered not just Labrador but herself."--BOOK JACKET. |
