The Labrador memoir of Dr. Harry Paddon, 1912-1938
by Harry Paddon
"Dr. Harry Paddon's memoir is an extensive account of life in Labrador prior to Confederation. As the Grenfell Mission's principal physician for over twenty-five years, Dr. Paddon travelled extensively throughout Labrador by both dog team and boat. Through his journals he fashions a portrait of Labrador society in accord with the traditional rhythms of trapping and fishing, as it was before the onset of industrial development. He also chronicles the demands of northern medicine in response to pervasive threats such as tuberculosis and deficiency diseases, including a moving description of the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918-19."--BOOK JACKET.
