A true-life adventure, Lost Lands, Forgotten Stories is an unputdownable story, a terrific read for armchair adventurers and all those interested in discovering a little-known part of our country. Inspired by a National Geographic article that excerpted the 1905 diaries of Mina Hubbard, a young Canadian widow who had made an astonishing 600-mile river journey from Goose Bay, Labrador, to Ungava Bay, Quebec, journalist Alexandra Pratt was driven to retrace Hubbard's route through this wild and ancient land. The result is a captivating read that shifts effortlessly between harrowing contemporary real-life adventure, fascinating historical perspective and poignant commentary on the plight of the Innu people of Labrador. Accompanied by an experienced Innu guide and hunter, Pratt confronts an unforgiving landscape that surprises her at every turn. Caught between sheer cliffs, deadly rapids and an approaching forest fire, Pratt's story comes to a breathtaking climax that reads like a classic novel.
