Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
In the late spring of 1903 Leonidas Hubbard, an ambitious young
writer, Dillon Wallace, a forty-year-old New York attorney, George
Elson, and an Indian guide with no firsthand knowledge of their
destination, set out on an adventure. Beset by delays, the men
paddled past their intended route. When in early September they
finally glimpse the vast waters of Michikamau from atop an unknown
mountain, the cold winds have already begun. With almost no food
left, the three begin a desperate struggle against starvation and
the quickening pace of a cruel winter, heading homeward in a race
for their lives.
