he's never willing to quit. It'll be the same with you if you go with me
to Labrador. When you come home, you'll hear the voice of the wilderness
calling you to return, and it will lure you back again."
It was Leonidas Hubbard, the heroic explorer, who spoke these words to
Dillon Wallace when they were lying by a camp fire in the snow-covered
Shawangunk mountains where they planned the trip that cost them
indescribable suffering, and Hubbard his life.
"The work must be done, Wallace, and if one of us falls before it is
completed the other must finish it."
Wallace returned to keep the compact, and "The Long Labrador Trail" is
the story of marvelous adventure, discovery, and brilliant description
of the exploration of the land that lured, the hitherto unknown country,
where the Eskimo builds his _igloo_ and hunts the walrus and the seal.
The story is one of brave and successful exploration, of interesting
anecdote, of human feeling, with scientific accuracy characterizing the
fund of information, and many photographs illuminating the text.

Beyond the Mexican Sierras
_By_
DILLON WALLACE WITH PHOTOGRAPHS AND A MAP
With the intense interest in Mexico which now obtains everywhere, this
fascinating volume attains to new values.
"There is no area of equal extent that can approach Mexico in wealth of
natural resources, variety of climate, grandeur of scenery, prehistoric
ruins, and romantic history," writes the author in his Introduction.
"Here you witness the incomparable scenery of an old, new land with its
snow-clad peaks, its magnificent mountain heights, its awe-inspiring
canyons, its vast plains, its picturesque villages, its ancient ruins,
its historic towns, and quaint corners.
"Within the borders of our neighbor republic there is a territory
one-quarter as large as the United States, with a coast line of six
thousand miles. In Mexico practically every product of the soil of the
tropical and temperate zones can be grown to perfection. Here are vast
primordial forests, and incalculable wealth of minerals."
This story of travel and exploration, with its fine descriptions of the
life of the people, history, and resources, possesses unfailing value
and interest. A large folding map accompanies the many photographs.
