From the Coast to Far Inland, a new collection of writings edited by William Rompkey, brings together a diverse body of iterature spanning more than one thousand years and encompassing the many peoples that have made their mark on Labrador: the Inuit, the Innu, the Norse, the British and the French, the Metis, and many others. From the Vinland Sagas of the Norse explorers to the memoir of the Innu writer George Rich, from Piere Berton's panoramic history to Micheal Crummey's moving literary account, we can see the assertion of humanity in the face of an often overpowering nature, as well as the gradual emergence of a distinctive Labrador identity from the struggles, conflicts, and encounters of Labrador's founding peoples.
