Title: The Beothuk expedition
Description: "Greed and compassion collide in this robust and spirited account of the 1768 Cartwright expedition. Jonah Squibb and his Royal Navy companions are tasked with making the first peaceful contact with the Beothuk in more than a century and a half, contending with an unforgiving wilderness and unscrupulous merchants and politicians. The novel breathes new life into events that sealed the fate of the Beothuk and etched the very soul of Newfoundland."--Cover, p. [4].
