Summary:
"Based on Cartwright's ill-fated
expedition
in search of the
Beothuk
. Jonah Squibb and his Royal Navy companions are tasked with making the first peaceful contact with the
Beothuk
in more than a century and a half. Conspiring against them are the unforgiving wilderness, unscrupulous merchants and politicians, and the
Beothuk
's mistrust of the party's motives. Greed and compassion collide in this robust and spirited novel that recreates the epic 1768 Cartwright mission to right the wrongs of a bloody past. The novel breathes new life into events that sealed the fate of the
Beothuk
and etched the very soul of Newfoundland."--Publisher.
