--------------------------------- THE HUBBARD EXPLORING EXPEDITION By DILLON WALLACE _The Lure of the Labrador Wild_ ILLUSTRATED 8vo CLOTH $1.50 NET. _New York Sun_: "A remarkable story, and we are much mistaken if it does not become a classic among tales of exploration." _Chicago Evening Post_: "Two continents became interested in the stories that came out of the wild about the hardships of the Hubbard expedition. Wallace's story and record--they are inseparable--possesses in its naked truth more of human interest than scores of volumes of imaginative adventure and romance of the wild." _Review of Reviews_: "The chronicle of high, noble purpose and achievement and it appeals to the finest, best, and most virile in man." _Chicago Record-Herald_: "One of the most fascinating books of travel and adventure in the annals of recent American exploration. Every man or boy who has ever heard the 'red gods' of the wilderness calling will revel in these graphic pages, in which the wild odor of the pines, the roar of rapids, the thrill of the chase and of thickening dangers come vividly to the senses." _New York Evening Post_: "The story is told simply and well. It may be added that for tragic adventure it has scarcely a parallel except in Arctic exploration." _New York Evening Mail_: "A chronicle of the expedition from first to last, and a fine tribute to the memory of Hubbard, whose spirit struggled with such pitiable courage against the ravages of a purely physical breakdown. The story itself is well told." _Chicago Inter-Ocean_: "In the records of the explorations of recent years there is no more tragic story than that of Hubbard's attempt to cross the great unexplored and mysterious region of the northeastern portion of the North American continent. Wallace himself narrowly escaped death in the Labrador wild, but, having been rescued, he has brought out of that unknown land a remarkable story." _Brooklyn Eagle_: "One of the very best stories of a canoe trip into the wilds ever written." _FOURTH EDITION_ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Transcriber's Notes: 1.
