In this stunning and original novel, John Steffler has recreated a lost time and place, and has given life to an enigmatic figure from Canada'€™s 18th-century past. Described quietly by historians as '€œsoldier, diarist, entrepreneur,'€ George Cartwright emerges in Steffler'€™s tale as a character of overwhelming appetite and ambition. Until this time Cartwright'€™s greatest legacy has been the place in Labrador named after him and the journal he wrote during his years there, when he lived amongst Native people and ran a successful trading post. Now his legacy becomes our own: a telling portrait of our past; a warning. From the Trade Paperback edition.
