Some of the books used in research for the trips to Baffin Island, Ungava and Labrador and later in research for the book "Stepping Stones", are detailed below. Some offer wonderful descriptions of early exploration into the wilderness of northern Canada; others technical data. Together they gave me an understanding of the area and its history that enriched my own travel experience and stimulated more questions than I'll ever be able to answer. To the authors of these documents; thank you!
