Bad luck and bad judgment led the expedition into disaster and the party was forced to turn back. Hubbard died of starvation just thirty miles from camp. Two years later Wallace decided to complete the overland expedition and clear himself of blame for Hubbard's death. He had, however, a rival - Mina Hubbard. She blamed Wallace for her husband's death and, with Elson as her guide, intended to complete the trek first. The result was an epic race between the avenging widow and her husband's best friend. Reconstructing the story from the long-lost journals and diaries of the 1903 and 1905 expeditions, James Davidson and John Rugge trace the explorers' routes and re-create the saga. Great Heart is a gripping drama of individuals pushed to the limits of human endurance. 606 $aAdventure and adventurers$zNewfoundland and Labrador$zLabrador$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aLabrador (N.L.)$xDiscovery and exploration 615 0$aAdventure and adventurers$xHistory 676 $a917.18/20420922 676 $a971.8201 700 $aDavidson$b James West$085792 701 $aRugge$b John$01622079 701 $aMcKibben$b Bill$0249185 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816486103321 996 $aGreat heart$93955724 997 $aUNINA
