Description
xxxix, 231 pages. Footnotes and index. Black and white reproductions of photos. "A religious, well-educated Victorian, Eliot Curwen takes us into the heart of the colonial society he encountered. His journal provides insights into its pervasive sectariansim, the tawdry political world of St. John's, the rudimentary conditions aboard the fishing schooners, and the poverty of the Labrador 'livyers,' the permanent white settlers who had intermarried with the Inuit. His candid remarks about Grenfell reveal details about the young missionary and social reformer not found elsewhere." - dust jacket. Faint pencil erasure atop half-title page, otherwise book clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. Dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A pleasing copy. Book
