|
|
The Land of Feast or Famine was the title of the manuscript for a novel entitled The Land of Feast or Famine recovered when northern adventurer John Hornby and his two companions starved to death in their winter camp on the banks of the Thelon River in the Northwest Territories.<ref name=RaffanFrontier/> Hornby's friend, Norman Robinson, would later write a book, of the same name, which he dedicated to Hornby. Several writers have credited Hornby's incomplete work as helping to build the public's perception of the harshness, danger, and romance of life in the north.<ref nameRaffanFrontier/><ref nameTorch2016-01/> |
