“The Day Grenfell Cried” is an interesting read that sheds light on the conflict that arose when the philanthropic efforts of Dr. Wilfred Grenfell clashed with the business interests of merchants operation on the Labrador Coast and resulted in a government enquiry. Battle Harbour, once known as the capital of Labrador and now a designated national historic site and district and important tourist destination, played a central role in these happenings from beginning to end. Gordon Slade, Chairman Battle Harbour Trust.
“The Day Grenfell Cried” is Earl Pilgrim’s true story of what happened when Dr. Wilfred Grenfell helped the poor people of northern Newfoundland and Labrador. Another great book from Newfoundland and Labrador’s favourite story teller.
