 Book Description The First Volume in the two volume series Early Settlers of Bay St. George presents a history of the exploration and early settlement of Bay St. George, Newfoundland. The first volume profiles pioneer families of European and Mi’kmaq descent who established communities in the inner bay along the stretch of shoreline from Fischells to Kippens. The Third Edition has been revised to present additional information or research findings relative to the early exploration and settlement of Bay St. George's inner bay. Information has been added to most of the families profiled earlier in the second edition. A number of new photographs and illustrations were selected for inclusion in the third edition.
