The Beothuk Expedition by Derek Yetman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Based on Cartwright’s ill-fated expedition in search of the Beothuk.

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. | The Beothuk Expedition by Derek Yetman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
