Book Description
Crossroads Country is a collection of life stories of people who worked or studied at Memorial
College before Confederation. It weaves together stories of friendships, kin networks, and lifetime
connections into a fabric of Newfoundland culture of the 1930s and 40s. It examines the various ties
that Newfoundland enjoyed with Canada, the United States and Great Britain to form it into the
culturally unique place that it is today.
