HAMILTON (GRAND or ASHUANIPI)

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 891 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
HAMILTON (GRAND or ASHUANIPI) , the
chief
  river of Labrador, Canada. It rises in the Labrador highlands at an
elevation
  of 1700 ft., its
chief
  sources being Lakes Attikonak and Ashuanipi, between 65 and 66 W. and 52 and 53 N. After a precipitous course of boo m. it empties into
Melville
  Lake (90 m.
long
  and 18 wide), an extension of Hamilton inlet, on the
Atlantic
 . About 220 M. from its mouth occur the Grand Falls of Labrador. Here in a distance of 12 M. the river drops 76o ft., culminating in a final
vertical
  fall of 316 ft. Below the falls are violent rapids, and the river sweeps through a deep and narrow canyon. The country through which it passes is for the most
part
  a wilderness of barren
rock
 , full of lakes and lacustrine rivers, many of which are its tributaries. In certain portions of the valley spruce and poplars grow to a moderate size. From the head of Lake Attikonak a steep and rocky
portage
  of less than a mile leads to Burnt Lake, which is drained into the St Lawrence by the Romaine river.
