| Review | "Aboriginals, Breton and Basque fisherman, and French- and English entrepreneurs from Quebec City established fishing posts along the Labrador coast from Kegashka to Blanc-Sablon during the middle of the seventeenth century and developed a culture, identity, and economy particular to this stretch of coast. The Forgotten Labrador offers an intimate look at the lifestyle, living conditions, and activities of these people, whose lives were shaped by the uncertainties of the fisheries."--Jacket. |
