BOOK - True Newfoundlanders. Early Homes and Families of Newfoundland and
Labrador.
By M. McBurney and M. Byers. True Newfoundlanders is the compelling story of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador - the heroes and the scoundrels, the rich merchants and poor fishermen, poliicians and priests - the people who built this fascinating and complex province. Although sometimes overshadowed by history's more dramatic events, their stories are rich in humour, pathos, and intrigue. Authors Margaret McBurney and Mary Byers use as their departure point the buildings that were the centre of these people's lives - their homes, churches, courthouses and lighthouses - all built during the past two hundred years and many still standing today. They are the province's visible history, and within their walls they hold captivating tales. From the day John Cabot arrived in Bonavista Bay, the history of Newfoundland has been written in the accomplishments of men of wealth and power, but it also has been written in everyday lives of hard-working independent men and women. True Newfoundlander's is their story. 240 pgs/indexed/B & W Photos and Illustrations/bibliography/photo index/deluxe hard cover/ISBN 1-55046-199-0.
