Based on Cartwright’s ill-fated expedition in search of the Beothuk. 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. Conspiring against them are the unforgiving wilderness, unscrupulous merchants and politicians, and the Beothuk’s mistrust of the party’s motives. Greed and compassion collide in this robust and spirited novel that recreates the epic 1768 Cartwright mission to right the wrongs of a bloody past. The novel breathes new life to events that sealed the fate of the Beothuk and etched the very soul of Newfoundland.

Industry Reviews

"The young narrator, Newfoundland-born Jonah Squibb and his shipmates (an assortment of scoundrels and idealists, including John Cartwright and Sir Hugh Pallister) are completely convincing. The Beothuk Expedition is a story of high adventure that kept me engaged until the very end." - Bernice Morgan, Random Passage and Cloud of Bone - 20110617
