Despite his initial profession in law, Wallace's true calling lay in the untamed landscapes of Labrador and the broader North American backcountry. His passion for adventure was ignited by his friendship with Leonidas Hubbard Jr., with whom he undertook a fateful 1903 expedition to explore the uncharted areas of Labrador. The tragic outcome of this journey, in which Hubbard died, compelled Wallace to commemorate their venture in his first and most celebrated book, 'The Lure of the Labrador Wild' (1905). Wallace's literary style is reflective of the prevailing naturalist movement of the era, blending meticulous attention to detail with a narrative drive characteristic of the adventure genre.
