cond, This man founded a mission in Labrador and cared for the Eskimos
and people of Newfoundland and Labrador, spending his life in their
physical and spiritual care. He is responsible for introducing the
reindeer to that part of the world I believe, which allowed the children
to have milk for nutrition. The forward closes with "I commend the book
to its readers in the knowledge that its author, having had access to the
family and Grenfell Associations' documents, and having spent some time
on the Coast, has given us an accurate and understanding account of the
life of one whose name will always be remembered as one of the great
missionaries, and wherever the quality of mercy is recognized." Numerous
hospitals and services were introduced to Labrador by Grenfell, an
amazing man, "Grenfell met with opposition from governments and from
unscrupulous traders who exploited the fishermen. This biography tells of
his struggle against them, and against poverty, disease, and the
harshness of a barren land in sub-arctic seas. It is the story of man who
aspired to live as Christ lived. Grenfell loved adventure, but above all
he loved people. " $18
