Book Description
"Why write about a desolate, barren, abondoned rock off the coast of Labrador in the North Atlantic? I suppose this place holds great sentimental value to me." C.J. Poole chronicles the history of 19th century Battle Harbour with excerpts from period sources and diaries as well as stories and anecdotes from the area.
