Synopsis "An Historical Directory of the Isles: Twillingate, New World Island, Fogo Island and Change Islands, Newfoundland and Labrador (in English)"
This one volume historical reference focuses on Newfoundland and Labrador's "Isles of Notre Dame" District. Located in Notre Dame Bay, and encompassing Twillingate, New World Island, Fogo Island and Change Islands, the "Isles" contain some of the most historic towns in the Province north of Bonavista. Using Newfoundland's old almanacs and business directories, along with archival documents, as his guide, author David J. Clarke profiles the District's communities from the mid-1800s until just prior to Confederation with Canada in 1949. Apart from recording those individuals who held official positions such as MHA, Magistrate and Foreign Consul during this era, the Directory provides a gazetteer of pre-Confederation Isles towns, plus community directories - heads of households and businesses - for select years. Dr. Clarke has incorporated an extensive introduction and appendices to give readers additional background on his sources and the subjects profiled inside. Includes photographs
