Publisher's Synopsis
Grenfell of Labrador is a book written by James Johnston and published in 1908. The book is a biography of Sir Wilfred Grenfell, a British physician who dedicated his life to providing medical care and social services to the people of Labrador, a remote region of northeastern Canada. The book describes Grenfell's early life in England, his decision to become a medical missionary, and his journey to Labrador, where he established a network of hospitals, nursing stations, and schools. The book also details Grenfell's efforts to improve the living conditions of the Labrador people, who were facing poverty, isolation, and disease. The book is a tribute to Grenfell's humanitarian work and his commitment to helping others, and it provides insight into the challenges and rewards of missionary work in a remote and challenging environment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
