Bowdoin Boys in Labrador An Account of the Bowdoin College Scientific Expedition to Labrador led by Prof. Leslie A. Lee of the Biological Department

"Bowdoin Boys in Labrador" by Jonathan Prince Cilley is a story about a late 19th-century scientific trip to Labrador led by Professor Leslie A. Lee, where a group of Bowdoin College students face tough challenges while doing research in a wild, unknown place. The book starts with the team leaving Rockland, Maine, on a boat called "Julia A. Decker." The beginning chapters show who's on the trip, explain tough ocean conditions like fog and changing winds, and tell about meeting the local Micmac Indians. The story shows all the planning they did, the friendship between the students, and how excited they were to explore Labrador's nature while working on studying people and taking photos, sharing the spirit of adventure and scientific interest that fuels their expedition.
