Stories From These Shores: Newfoundland & Labrador, and The Isles of Notre Dame (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781503085985)

Perched on Canada's eastern shores, and battered by the relentless North Atlantic, Newfoundland & Labrador was known as "Britain's Oldest Colony, and is now Canada's newest Province. Shaped by the sea, and centuries of wresting a living from its uncertain bounty, its people have developed a culture at once unique and enduring. One of Newfoundland's most storeyed and historic locales is The Isles of Notre Dame District (The Isles). Located off the Island's rocky northeast coast, the Isles are home to many historic settlements such as Twillingate, Moreton's Harbour, Herring Neck, Fogo, Joe Batt's Arm, Tilting and Change Islands. This work takes a look at the Isles' rich past, along with that of the larger entity of which it is part, through an overview history and geography of the Province, along with historical vignettes culled from the Twillingate Sun newspaper and a variety of other sources.
