Reading: Robert Bond - The Greatest Newfoundlander

The subject of this biography is not quite as fascinating as the period in which he governed Newfoundland. Growing up in what is now basically a backwater province of Canada, it’s easy to forget and hard to picture that when Newfoundland was a dominion at the beginning of the 20th century, things like free trade negotiations with the US and France, and meetings with Teddy Roosevelt were things that were on the Prime Minister of Newfoundland’s agenda.
