One Incredible Journey

Here is Clayton Klein at his best. Challenge the Wilderness is a powerful historical adventure that sweeps across Canada from Ontario to Labrador. George Elson was the noted guide of the ill-fated Leonidas Hubbard Expedition into Labrador in 1903. Then two years later he successfully guided Mina Benson Hubbard across the Labrador peninsula from North West River to Ungava Bay. Other than these two journeys very little was formerly known of Mr. Elson outside of Moosonee and Moose Factory. Learn the Unique way of life of the James Bay Crees during the early years of the twentieth century. Challenge the Wilderness is a historical novel of the loves and tragedies in the adventure-filled life of the legendary George Elson. Several years of extensive research by the author have revealed scores of formerly unpublished incidents in the life of this amazing woodsman and explorer. For three decades after his guiding days, Mr. Elson worked for the Revillon Freres Trading Company, first as an apprentice, then for seventeen years as the manager of their post at Fort George along the east side of James Bay.
