At some point, Powell realizes that the trapper's life in Labrador is coming to a close, primarily because the price of furs continues to drop, and also because he doubts that future generations will continued to be enthralled, given the changes in society that become evident in the post-WW II years. So Powell and a friend make a plan to open a lumber mill and start a settlement around it. The final third of the book relates the agonizingly slow and painful, but ultimately successful, founding of Charlottetown, Labrador.
I started this more as a curiousity than anything else, but in the end found it a very compelling book. ( )
