Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In an Unknown Land: A Journey Through the Wastes of Labrador in Search of Gold
Mr. Robinson's kind invitation to write a foreword to his book. His simple word pictures of the country which I have learnt to consider home, speak for themselves as the most interesting kind of description anyone can give of a new land.
To the tourist the main attractions of Labrador are its untrodden waterways, its unconquered peaks, its uncharted, endless islands. The hunter and fisherman find virgin fields and seas. The geologist, botanist, and zoologist find pastures rich in opportunity. But to Mr. Robinson, as to myself, Labrador presents specially a perspective field for human life.
