INTRODUCTION 9 



The life story of the trapper and the folk-lore 

 of the Indian hunters of the North Shore are con- 

 tributions to our national literature that are des- 

 tined to live, and not the least charm of Mr. 

 Comeau's volume lies in the fact that it is a sane 

 and instructive book, conveying a graphic yet 

 modest recital of fifty years' work for humanity 

 and science in one of the least known but most 

 interesting sections of Northern Canada.
