Excerpt from Newfoundland As It Was, and as It Is in 1877
And about 930 miles from New York, appears' to be less known to the British and American people than Australia, New Zealand, or the remotest parts of the globe. The design of the author, in the publication of this work, is to Show the British and American reader that Newfoundland is something more than a mere fishing station, as well as to make Newfoundlanders themselves better acquainted with their own country. The best sources of information have been consulted, and made use of without limitation. The grand Object of all sound history should be to place the simple truth before the reader. I have made this book out of my self, out of my life. I have derived it from Observation, from my relations of friendship, and of neighbourhood; have picked it up from the roads; above all, I have found it in the recollections of my youth. To know.

The history of Newfoundland is fascinating. Even though this was written in the late 1800's it is only about the history of its government. I would prefer to read the history of its people from the indigenous to the British, Irish, French and even Scandanavian rooted people.Product details

Great read for the history buff
I am not a native of the island but have lived and worked in several locations in Newfoundland.
It must be understood that this book written by a knowledgeable churchman who took the history of Newfoundland to 1877.
There is a remarkable early feature of Britain's oldest colony (if you exclude Ireland) in that those who sent the fishing boats to their rich cod grounds did all they could to prevent the development of the colony. Then when it did develop, the equivalent merchants (Water Street gang) did all they could to keep the fishermen in debt to them.
It is a brutal and hard history which ends before the hardest of times in the post-war depression when starvation and tuberculosis became endemic.
The history of Newfoundland is fascinating. Even though this was written in the late 1800's it is only about the history of its government. I would prefer to read the history of its people from the indigenous to the British, Irish, French and even Scandanavian rooted people.
