Book Synopsis Murder at Lover's Leap by : Patrick J. Collins
Download or read book Murder at Lover's Leap written by Patrick J. Collins and published by . This book was released on 2022-08-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nicholas Peddle will die on August 21, 1927." These words sent shivers down the spine of retired sergeant Frank Fallon on the hottest day of July 1977. The eighty-six-year-old former Newfoundland Constabulary sergeant received a courtesy phone call from the local RCMP detachment in Harbour Grace informing him a metal detector had discovered a lead egg roll-shaped capsule that contained a handwritten letter pertinent to a crime he investigated back in 1927. The murder of Nicholas Peddle some fifty years ago was the only cold case in this policeman's long career. Archivists at The Rooms museum offer a glimmer of hope that a laboratory process might recover the signature and remaining text of the badly deteriorated note. The phone call causes Fallon to relive four days in August 1927, when his estranged partner, investigative journalist Christine Sullivan, joined him yet again to find the elusive killer as they looked in every nook and cranny of 1927 Harbour Grace. The town, on the cusp of hosting The Pride of Detroit as its crew used the newly constructed Harbour Grace Airport to begin their flight around the world, was bubbling with excitement. A schoolteacher, Nicholas Peddle, from Bristol's Hope, Newfoundland, was found dead at the foot of Lover's Leap, Harbour Grace, with a superficial stab wound to his neck. Just metres away from Peddle, another body, likely an assailant, was also discovered. The only discernible identifying feature on the much younger man was an improvised tattoo of a broken heart with the word "Mom" and the initials SH inscribed just above it. Clearly both men had fallen to their deaths as a result of a struggle. The clues at the scene were sparse. When discovered, the forty-year-old Nicholas Peddle still gripped a knitted shawl. A war veteran's knuckle knife was found near the body of the younger stranger. Fallon, who found himself at a loss to break the case, was forced to seek the help of a recently estranged partner, an investigative reporter with the Harbour Grace Standard, Christine Sullivan. The reader will follow Frank Fallon and Christine Sullivan as they desperately try to answer puzzling questions surrounding both mysterious deaths. Who was the alleged younger assailant? Why had he tried to kill an introverted bachelor who preferred to have few connections in this small community? What were two men doing on such a treacherous ledge on a rainy night? Such a location was frequented only by young, foolhardy lovers, where they avowed their love for one another before taking each other's hand in matrimony. Will the archivists at The Rooms offer a resolution to the only unsolved crime Frank Fallon had ever encountered? At the age of eighty-six, with life itself fading away, this may be Sergeant Frank Fallon's last chance to find out who killed Nicholas Peddle.
Book Synopsis A Land of Dreams by : Patrick Mannion
Download or read book A Land of Dreams written by Patrick Mannion and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wherever they settled, immigrants from Ireland and their descendants shaped and reshaped their understanding of being Irish in response to circumstances in both the old and new worlds. In A Land of Dreams, Patrick Mannion analyzes and compares the evolution of Irish identity in three communities on the prow of northeastern North America: St John’s, Newfoundland, Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Portland, Maine, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These three port cities, home to diverse Irish populations in different stages of development and in different national contexts, provide a fascinating setting for a study of intergenerational ethnicity. Mannion traces how Irishness could, at certain points, form the basis of a strong, cohesive identity among Catholics of Irish descent, while at other times it faded into the background. Although there was a consistent, often romantic gaze across the Atlantic to the old land, many of the organizations that helped mediate large-scale public engagement with the affairs of Ireland – especially Irish nationalist associations – spread from further west on the North American mainland. Irish ethnicity did not, therefore, develop in isolation, but rather as a result of a complex interplay of local, regional, national, and transnational networks. This volume shows that despite a growing generational distance, Ireland remained “a land of dreams” for many immigrants and their descendants. They were connected to a transnational Irish diaspora well into the twentieth century.
Book Synopsis The Howells of Carbonear by : Donald E. Howell
Download or read book The Howells of Carbonear written by Donald E. Howell and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-05-13 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Howells of Carbonear is a thoroughly researched and sweeping genealogy that traces the 375-year documented history of the Howell family of Carbonear, Newfoundland. The Howells were planters, who came to Newfoundland to fish but did not return to England at the end of the season, remaining “planted” in the province. The book highlights the family’s early hardships, including the many deaths that resulted from the harsh conditions of the fisheries. Pioneers of early Newfoundland, the tenacious, resourceful, and closeknit Howells depended on extended family for survival. Containing twenty-five years of research and supplemented by original wills, deeds, court and church records, photographs, interviews, and stories passed down through generations, The Howells of Carbonear represents an astounding achievement in family genealogy. Donald E. Howell traces a direct line from the resilience of his ancestors to the Howells of today, offering readers a rare and extensive glimpse into his family’s history and heritage. This book is a valuable heirloom for Howell family descendants and a fascinating read for anyone interested in Atlantic Canada’s rich history.

Download or read book Ordinary Saints written by Bonnie Morgan and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2019-12-19 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From their everyday work in kitchens and gardens to the solemn work of laying out the dead, the Anglican women of mid-twentieth-century Conception Bay, Newfoundland, understood and expressed Christianity through their experience as labourers within the family economy. Women's work in the region included outdoor agricultural labour, housekeeping, childbirth, mortuary services, food preparation, caring for the sick, and textile production. Ordinary Saints explores how religious belief shaped the meaning of this work, and how women lived their Christian faith through the work they did. In lived religious practices at home, in church-based voluntary associations, and in the wider community, the Anglican women of Conception Bay constructed a female theological culture characterized by mutuality, negotiation of gender roles, and resistance to male authority, combining feminist consciousness with Christian commitment. Bonnie Morgan brings together evidence from oral interviews, denominational publications, census data, minute books of the Church of England Women's Association, headstone epitaphs, and household art and objects to demonstrate the profound ties between labour and faithfulness: for these rural women, work not only expressed but also shaped belief. Ordinary Saints, with its focus on gender, labour, and lived faithfulness, breaks new ground in the history of religion in Canada.

Book Synopsis Conflicted Colony by : Kurt Korneski
Download or read book Conflicted Colony written by Kurt Korneski and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth-century Newfoundland was an archetypal borderland - a space where changes in the authority of imperial, national, and indigenous territorial claims shaped the opportunities and identities of a socially diverse population. Conflicted Colony elucidates processes of state formation in Newfoundland through a reassessment of key moments in the country's history. Kurt Korneski closely examines five conflicts from the late nineteenth century - the Fortune Bay Dispute of 1878, the St George's Bay Dispute of 1889-92, the 1890s Lobster Controversy, the Battle of Foxtrap, and disputes over salmon grounds in Hamilton Inlet, Labrador - to explain how local regimes received, challenged, and reworked formal and informal diplomatic and commercial arrangements, as well as policies set out by the colonial and imperial government. The chapters examine antagonisms and divisions that grew out of clashes between the distinct commercial and social identities of regions in the borderlands and the sensibilities of merchants, politicians, and working people on the Avalon Peninsula. Providing new insight into the social history of Newfoundland and Labrador, these disputes illuminate contending perspectives driven by informal systems of governance, political movements, and local economic, social, demographic, and ecological circumstances. Conflicted Colony broadens, deepens, and clarifies our understanding of how Newfoundland became an integrated Dominion in the British Empire.
