The Long Labrador Trail is a classic adventure book written by Dillon Wallace. The book follows the author's journey through the rugged wilderness of Labrador in the early 1900s. Wallace and his team of sled dogs face numerous challenges as they travel through the harsh and unforgiving terrain in search of fur and gold. Along the way, they encounter dangerous animals, harsh weather conditions, and treacherous ice. Despite these obstacles, Wallace and his team persevere and ultimately succeed in their mission. The Long Labrador Trail is a thrilling and inspiring tale of courage, determination, and the unbreakable bond between man and dog. It is a must-read for anyone who loves adventure, nature, and the great outdoors.The real work of the trip was now to begin, the hard portaging, the trail finding and trail making, and we were to break the seal of a land that had, through the ages, held its secret from all the world, excepting the red man. This is what we were thinking of when we gathered around our camp fire that evening, and filled and lighted our pipes and puffed silently while we watched the newborn stars of evening come into being one by one until the arch of heaven was aglow with the splendor of a Labrador night. And when we at length went to our bed of spruce boughs it was to dream of strange scenes and new worlds that we were to conquer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

"The Gaunt Gray Wolf" is a tale of adventure with "Ungava Bob", the courageous young character from Dillon Wallace's first story who reappears in this new tale. First, as guide and then as companion and friend to "Shad" Trowbridge. "Shad" came from Boston to spend the summer vacation fishing and hunting in Labrador. Many unexpected and exciting adventures were awaiting the two lads who had more than one breath-taking escape.

"Dan Rudd," roared Captain Zachariah Bluntt, "if I has to tell you again to keep that mouth organ below decks, I'll wring your neck! Yes, wring your neck! By the imps of the sea, I will!" "Aye, aye, sir," answered Dan Rudd, a robust, sunny-faced sailor lad of sixteen, quickly slipping the offending harmonica, upon which he had been playing a lively air, into his pocket. Captain Bluntt, impatiently pacing the deck, was plainly in ill humor. His great red beard, standing out like a lion's mane, bristled ominously, and his shaggy eyebrows were drawn down in an unpleasant scowl.

The Jug, as Thomas Angus often remarked, was as snug and handy a place to live as ever a man could wish. Ten miles up the Bay was the trading post of the Hudson's Bay Company, and at Wolf Bight, twelve miles directly across the Bay from the Jug, the trading post of Trowbridge & Gray, and then only five miles to the eastward, at Break Cove, lived Doctor Joe.

Jimmie, a. boy somewhat older than he, is his partner in many stirring adventures and narrow escapes.

It was an evening in early September twenty years ago. The sun was just setting in a radiance of glory behind the dark spruce forest that hid the great unknown, unexplored Labrador wilderness which stretched away a thousand miles to the rocky shores of Hudson's Bay and the bleak desolation of Ungava. With their back to the forest and the setting sun, drawn up in martial line stood the eight or ten whitewashed log buildings of the Hudson's Bay Company Post, just as they had stood for a hundred years, and just as they stand to-day, looking out upon the wide waters of Eskimo Bay, which now, reflecting the glow of the setting sun, shone red and sparkling like a sea of rubies.
