Publisher Description: For more than seventy years Twillingate - Newfoundland's "Capital of the North" - was home to its own weekly newspaper, the Twillingate Sun. This work is the second in a two-volume set. In it, David Clarke presents some of the Twillingate Sun's most interesting editorials, correspondence and letters, spanning its entire run from 1880 to 1953. These are arranged by topic area, such as the Beothuk, healthcare, the World Wars and "notable locals." The work is illustrated throughout, and includes introductions and commentary by Dr. Clarke. |
