During the winter of 1936, twenty-one-year-old
Danny Corcoran of the Newfoundland Ranger Force set out on a routine wildlife
patrol from Great Harbour Deep. However, he could never have imagined the
nightmare that awaited him. Danny was inexperienced in travelling on the open
country of the Great Northern Peninsula, and what was intended to be a two-day
trek to find and waylay poachers in the area turned out to be a gruelling
two-week journey that would push Ranger Corcoran to the very limits of his
endurance. Frightened, crippled, and alone, young Danny Corcoran faced his
biggest challenge yet . . . and prayed that a search party would find him in
time.
