The Long Crossing and Other Labrador Stories

By Elliott Merrick

A consummate storyteller, Ellott Merrick writes of trappers and guides, lighthouse keepers and sea captains, nurses, and adventurers from outside drawn to Labrador by the challenge of the unknown wilderness. His vivid accounts, at times as stark as the landscapes in which they are staged, portray a rugged people whose principal resource in facing the forces of nature is their own hardiness and strength. The stories reveal Merrick's admiration for the people of inspiring competence, courage, and humor with whom he traveled and worked.
