With the Harmony to Labrador Notes of a visit to the Moravian mission stations on the north-east coast of Labrador

"With the Harmony to Labrador" by Benjamin La Trobe is a late 19th-century historical narrative that recounts the author's voyage to Moravian mission outposts along Labrador's northeastern shore. The story chronicles La Trobe's interactions with the regional environment and especially with the local Eskimo population. Serving as both a memoir and a record of missionary efforts in this isolated territory, the narrative begins with reflections on the "Harmony" voyage to Hopedale, the mission's southernmost station, emphasizing the sharp contrast between brief summer beauty and the severe Labrador winter. The author carefully portrays mission houses and Eskimo homes, documenting the everyday routines of the inhabitants and the missionaries' spiritual cultivation attempts. La Trobe acknowledges the natives' resilience, respect, and their unwavering faith when confronting the rough landscape.
