Excerpt from Captain Cartwright and His Labrador Journal
A brief account of the family history and of the life of Captain Cartwright subsequent to his resi dence in Labrador he himself gives his earlier life is to be found in the introduction.
Perhaps no more interesting picture of the man himself, nor any better praise for his Journal can be found than that in the following from the poet Southey, which I have already quoted in Along the Labrador Coast, but it is worth quoting again.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique glimpse into the life of a man who, due to family misfortunes, turned his back on English society and sought adventure and fortune in the wilds of Labrador in the late 18th century. The author, a man of action rather than letters, provides a detailed and often fascinating account of his experiences living among the indigenous inhabitants of the region, the Beothuk people of Newfoundland and the Inuit of Labrador. His journal records his observations on the natural world, including detailed descriptions of animal life and hunting techniques, as well as his attempts to engage in trade with the native inhabitants. The book provides a fascinating window into the world of early European exploration and the interaction between colonizers and the indigenous peoples of North America. In addition to its historical value, the book also offers a personal account of the authorââ â¢s struggles, his philosophical reflections, and his deep respect for the land and the people he encounters, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of exploration, early encounters with indigenous cultures, and the human spirit in the face of adversity.
