A book about big-game hunting in the Newfoundland wilderness in the early 20th century. Author John Millais had previously informed the world about Scottish wildfowl and British mammals. Here he describes canoeing Newfoundland rivers, visiting Micmacs, hunting caribou, and whaling. The entertaining appendix includes Micmac words, Newfoundland colloquialisms, game laws, and what to pack for 40 days travel in the "Untrodden Ways".
