Book Description:
When Wilfred Grenfell, an English doctor, arrived in Newfoundland in 1892 he found fishermen and their families living in squalor and dying from malnutrition and disease. As a man not afraid to upset the established way of doing things, Grenfell was determined to help. He started by setting up a hospital at Battle Harbour. Other hospitals followed, as well as nursing stations, orphanages, and a traveling library. He made enemies along the way, especially among the local merchants when he helped fishermen set up their own co operative stores. As the great doctor himself acknowledged, he brought healing to Newfoundland and Labrador, but no one welcomed him except the people he served.
