Churchill Island - History and Her Story

Churchill Island - History and Her Story

 Author: BAIRD, PATRICIA

ISBN: 9780958093415


 This is a refreshing new look at the history of Churchill Island. Patricia Baird combines the archives, the local papers, previous histories and genealogies she has brought new facts and stories to light. She has also spoken to those still living in the local area, who remember the goings on and changes at the island, or who are related to former inhabitants, and the memories of these folk turn Baird's account into a living history. Baird also gives voice to the female voice which was so often absent in the records. At the end of each segment, she chooses a woman, who sometimes is barely mentioned in the record, and gives her a story, letting her speak for herself. A paperback book of 103 pages illustrated with drawings.

Price : $30.00
