Labrador Odyssey: The Journal and Photographs of Eliot Curwen on the Second Voyage of Wilfred Grenfell, 1893: Volume 3 - Rompkey, Ronald

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; A fascinating personal and photographic account of a brief summer visit to Britain's first colony, the harsh and unforgiving territory north of Newfoundland. In a quiet and unassuming style, the region comes to life through the private voice and vision of Eliot Surwen, a young idealistic medical missionary. Curwen's account, ostensibly written for his sisters back home, is rich with both observation and insight, providing stories and anecdotes on the flora, fauna, and grim weather of the region.
