A Woman's Way through Unknown Labrador

Not great writing but the continuation of a great story. Mrs. Hubbard, with excellent guides, completes a journey that here husband planned and died of starvation in the attempt to finish. His journey is detailed in ''The Lore of the Labrador Wild'', written by Dillon Wallace who, just, survived the expedition. Wallace was saved by the efforts of George Ellison who became Mrs. Hubbard's guide. Mrs. Hubbard thought Wallace's account very disrespectful to the memory of her husband and determined to succeed and bring honor back to her husbands name. To add drama Wallace made a second expedition that ran the same season as Mrs. Hubbard's. Mrs. Hubbard, again with excellent guides, beat Wallace to the goal by a very large measure. Modern show more reprints list Mrs. Hubbard as "Mina Benson Hubbard'. honoring her work as and early 20th Century woman. I retain the appellation as Mrs. Leonidas Hubbard since that is how she published it and it was in honor and defense of her husband that she undertook the expedition. To my mind not enough credit has been paid to the Indian and Metis guides on all three expeditions. show less
