Gander is one of the best known small towns in the world, especially among weste and easte Europeans. Russians know it with familiarity. This book is not about Gander, however, despite its notoriety; rather it conce s the great wilde ess that surrounds Gander, the magnificent Gander River, laden with salmon; the limitless forests abounding with game. Much has been written about the seafaring Newfoundlander and his exploits on the bay, bight, tickle or sea, but literally nothing has been written about the Newfoundlander as a woodsman. This book then, fills that tremendous gap and gives us, through the life-long experiences of one man, all the excitement, lure and love that a preoccupation with the land can bring.

A face-to-face conversation with the great, late-Frank Evans, Negro League Baseball Hall of Famer. While working with Evans for the Meridian Brakeman minor league baseball team in the mid-1990s, author Gary Saunders found Evans to be inspiring. The two sat down one day and recorded a conversation; an interview where Saunders unlocks the secrets of a good life even when things don't always go well. Evans shares his childhood memories, fun times with other legends like Satchel Paige, Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne and Fidel Castro. He discusses racial issues and his deep faith in God. Evans knew that one day Saunders would publish this memoir. The time has come. This book is about Frank...and it's Perfectly Frank.

An engrossing story of a bright John Hopkins graduate who fell in love with Newfoundland as a student, and who stayed to become the medical care system in north-easte Newfoundland for forty years. Crusty, caring and unconventional, Dr. Olds' skill and devotion made him such a folk hero that Newfoundland declared a province-wide Doctor Olds Day. Asked why he came to Twillingate for one year and stayed for forty. Newfoundland's Connecticut Yankee tersely replied, Because I liked it.
