"Bowedoin Boys in Labrador" by Jonathan Prince Cilley is a historical account written in the late 19th century that chronicles the Bowdoin College Scientific Expedition to Labrador, led by Professor Leslie A. Lee. The narrative captures the experiences of a group of college students as they navigate the challenges of their journey in a largely uncharted and rugged landscape, performing scientific research along the way. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for the expedition, detailing the group's departure from Rockland, Maine, aboard the vessel "Julia A. Decker." The initial chapters introduce the members of the expedition and provide vivid descriptions of the nautical challenges they encounter, including fog, changing winds, and their interactions with the local Micmac Indians. The narrative paints a picture of the preparations the team undertakes, the camaraderie among the Bowdoin boys, and their eagerness to explore the natural wonders of Labrador while conducting anthropometric and photographic work. This opening gives readers insight into the adventurous spirit of the era and the scientific curiosity that drives the expedition. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
