BOOK - Jean Pierre ROMA, Of The Company of the East of Isle St. Jean (Prince Edward Island, Canada)
by Jill MacLean
In the 1700s, Jean Pierre Roma carved an international trading empire out of the virgin forests of Isle St. Jean — now Prince Edward Island. He created a thriving settlement on the Island, only to have all his dreams destroyed in 1745 by a band of privateers.
At last, the story of this fascinating entrepreneur is once again available in a fine new edition of Jill MacLean’s classic 1977 biography.
Roma continues as the heart of the "Roma at Three Rivers" historic site and nature trails in Eastern Prince Edward Island. This book invites you to retrace his life and walk in his steps on the site where he lived.
