| Summary: | This is the account of Bryant's expedition to the Grand Falls of Labrador, now known as Churchill Falls. This expedition had the primary goal of obtaining a proper measurement of the height of the falls, which earlier accounts had given at 1500 feet. Not only did Bryant's expedition yield a more accurate measurement of 348 feet, other valuable information was collected; they gathered meteorological, ethnological, and botanical data, mapped the lower concourse of the Grand River, and also measured the altitude of Labrador's table-lands (p. 41-42). Reprint of Geographical Club Bulletin no. 2. Includes bibliographical references.
