With a diversifying economy and growing demography amidst the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the governors of Newfoundland faced a unique set of challenges. Drawing upon various primary and secondary sources, Morrow provides a comprehensive account of their responses to the perceived needs of those they governed - both settler and indigenous - and reveals the professional attitudes and attributes they brought to bear on both their civil and military responsibilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Morrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350383171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350383173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"John Morrow","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44522466246911,"sku":"9781350383173","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_689052fb-539d-43b9-9cf8-46f87f016972.jpg?v=1700157401","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-naval-government-of-newfoundland-john-morrow-9781350383173","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
