Product Details

Product Description

Book Description

Originally published in 1895, A History of Newfoundland by Daniel Woodley Prowse is recognized as one of the finest histories to be written during the colonial era. It is also regarded for being the most definitive history of Newfoundland and Labrador.

But it is much more than a history text. Within its pages, Prowse imparts a passion for the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, an instinct for justice, and a knack for telling a good story.

A History of Newfoundland remains a standard reference book for history buffs, academics, and geneologists. It is also ideal for those who are curious about the history and culture of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Meticulously researched, A History of Newfoundland has hundreds of illustrations and text of original letters gleaned from European archives.

An extensive history of the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon is included.

Leslie Harris, who served as president of Memorial University of Newfoundland from 1981 – 1990, provides an insightful and illuminating foreword.



About the Author

Daniel Woodley Prowse (1934-1914) was a native of Port de Grave, Newfoundland. A lawyer, politician, judge and author, Prowse was, above all, passionately devoted to public service. He wrote the highly regarded Justice's Manual for magisterial guidance in Newfoundland, and promoted improvements to public health and government services. Prowse was one of the best known writers of his time in Newfoundland, writing for numerous local and international publications. His classic work, A History of Newfoundland, remains the most comprehensive history of the colony ever written.
