An edition of Beyond the Great Slave Lake (1957)

Beyond the Great Slave Lake.

Fascinating and often hair-raising are the extraordinary adventures of this young Englishman in the frozen wilds of the Canadian Northwest. Grandson of the great physicist, Sir Oliver Lodge, Tom Lodge was eighteen when he set out for Canada in a spirit of adventure. On Great Slave Lake in Northern Canada, he discovered the terrible isolation of a log cabin on the frozen wastes of the inland sea and just how tough a man's life can be. When he was fishing with an Indian named Whitegeese, the ice begins to break up and the two men, with their dogs, are borne out away from shore in the bitter cold. Tom survives only after appalling hardships. Also romance appears as he goes on his adventurous way. He brings vividly alive the scenes, the characters, and the last truly pioneer country on this continent.
