Description

Who were the first settlers in Newfoundland and Labrador? What is the origin of the Pink, White, and Green flag? Was Newfoundland and Labrador poor prior to Confederation? These are some of the questions answered in A Short History of Newfoundland and Labrador, a book that traces the growth of human settlement from Aboriginal pioneers to the current era. This is a lively, informative volume, written by professional historians.

An excellent book about the history of my home province! It might be a short history, but it was full of amazing thing I didn't know before. I feel like I understand my native island home better after reading this book! I hope the Newfoundland Historical Society releases another book on Newfoundland history, or better yet, a series of books!
