In the summer of 1903, two young explorers set out to chart the untracked wilderness of Labrador. Dillon Wallace, a lawyer-turned-adventurer, and his friend Leonidas Hubbard Jr., a writer and outdoorsman, dreamed of exploring a land few outsiders had ever seen. But their expedition soon turned into a desperate struggle for survival.
Poor planning, harsh conditions, and the unforgiving Labrador landscape conspired against them. As supplies dwindled and exhaustion mounted, both men faced the ultimate test of courage and endurance. Hubbard, fighting bravely until the very end, succumbed to starvation in the wild. Before his death, Wallace vowed to tell the story—and keep alive the dream of exploration they had shared.
That promise became The Lure of the Labrador Wild, first published in 1905. It is at once a tribute to Hubbard’s courage, a harrowing tale of survival, and a gripping account of the lure of the unknown. Wallace later honored their pact fully in The Long Labrador Trail, completing the expedition they had begun together.
🌲 Why this book still matters:
A classic of true survival and exploration literature
A story of friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice
Vivid descriptions of Labrador’s wild, desolate beauty
An inspiring testament to the human will to endure and discover
For readers of Jack London, Ernest Shackleton, and other great tales of adventure, The Lure of the Labrador Wild is both a thrilling story and a moving memorial to a fallen friend.
