Heart So Hungry: The Extraordinary Expedition of Mina Hubbard into the Labrador Wilderness

In 1903, the American journalist Leonidas Hubbard set out to explore the uncharted interior of Labrador and died of starvation in the wilderness. Two years later his widow, Mina Hubbard, determined to complete his work and defend his reputation, mounted her own expedition, racing a rival party led by Dillon Wallace, one of her husband's former companions. Randall Silvis tells the story of this remarkable woman who, with a small team of guides, travelled hundreds of miles by canoe through northern Labrador, mapping rivers no outsider had charted and becoming one of the pioneering women explorers of her era. A gripping true story of grief, determination and adventure in one of North America's harshest landscapes.
