A Newfoundland Ranger, who must maintain the peace and survive loneliness and isolation in a northern climate, brings the reader to a vast land with a rich culture and demanding topography.  In these personal stories he recounts the challenges of northern living including driving a team of dogs hundreds of miles to Goose Bay, being stranded in a raging blizzard where all hope seems lost, and facing near starvation in the ruggedness of Newfoundland's interior.

Although his career as a Ranger in Labrador and Newfoundland was but a brief period of his life, Cyril Goodyear's love of the wilderness and the people who lived in harmony with it shines through in these personal memoirs.
