''A Woman’s Way Through Unknown Labrador'' is a memoir written by Mrs. Leonidas Hubbard, recounting her journey through the unknown and treacherous wilderness of Labrador, Canada, in 1905. The book tells the story of Mrs. Hubbard’s determination to accompany her husband, the explorer Leonidas Hubbard, on his expedition to chart the unexplored interior of Labrador. Despite being inexperienced and ill-equipped for such a journey, Mrs. Hubbard perseveres through harsh weather conditions, dangerous rapids, and encounters with wildlife. Along the way, she develops a deep appreciation for the beauty of the wilderness and the resilience of the indigenous people she meets. The book is a testament to the strength and courage of a woman who defied the societal norms of her time to follow her passion for adventure and exploration.''Friday morning was warm and bright. It seemed wonderful to be having so much fine weather in Labrador, and not a fly or mosquito as yet. The one nuisance we had met was mice or lemmings. They had been busy with my hat in the night, and when I came to put it on that morning I found there was a hole eaten in the crown and a meal or two taken out of the brim. There seemed to be thousands of them, and they ran squealing about everywhere, great fat fellows, some of them as big as grey squirrels. The ground was so perforated with their holes that it reminded one of a porous plaster.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
