Scene at Mulligan River

from Sketches of Labrador Life · by Lydia Campbell · set at Mulligan River

❝ Scene

Mulligan River

“You can say, well done old half breed woman in Hamilton's Inlet.”

Campbell wrote the Sketches at her home in Mulligan and explicitly addresses her Hamilton Inlet identity in the closing — the Bibliographical Society of Canada scholarly article reproduces this line; the Them Days publisher page anchors the book to 'Mulligan River, Hamilton's Inlet, and Eskimaux Bay.'

    Them Days republication (1980) and Memorial-affiliated UQAM scholarly anchor situate Lydia Campbell's 1894 Sketches at her family's Mulligan / Mulligan River home on the north shore of Lake Melville. The earlier verbatim quote attributed to a Them Days product page wasn't found there; the place anchor itself stands.
