| Summary | "The Lure of the Labrador Wild" by Dillon Wallace is an adventure narrative written in the early 20th century. The book details the expedition led by Leonidas Hubbard, Jr. as he aims to explore the uncharted wilderness of Labrador. The narrative revolves around the adventures and misfortunes faced by Hubbard and his companions as they traverse the rugged landscape in search of the elusive Lake Michikamau, showcasing themes of exploration, friendship, and the harsh realities of nature. At the start of the narrative, the stage is set with a preface that reflects on the tragedy of the expedition, where Wallace recalls the moments leading up to and following Hubbard's fateful journey that ended in death due to starvation. The opening chapters introduce the motivations and planning behind the expedition, including Wallace's initial reluctance and subsequent agreement to join Hubbard. As the journey commences, they encounter various challenges, such as weather, resource management, and the difficulty of navigating through the wilderness. The camaraderie among the adventurers is highlighted, as is the whimsical nature of their aspirations contrasted against the grim realities of their environment. As they engage with nature's beauty and brutality, the atmosphere of eagerness and danger intertwines, setting the stage for the harrowing experiences to unfold.
