| Summary: | Seitz's interest in Newfoundland developed after having been befriended by a Newfoundland dog as a young boy. In December of 1926, the author set out on a journey to visit the ancestral home of his old friend, this book being the outcome of his travels. Seitz paints a very vivid picture of Newfoundland for his readers, skillfully describing Newfoundland and Labrador, the people, and their way of life while also relaying the facts about the colony's mineral resources, fishing industries, religion, and politics. The author also includes details which would be of particular interest to tourists, such as a brief history of the colony, hunting and fishing opportunities and regulations, the Newfoundland dog, and modes of transportation available to get to Newfoundland and for use when one has arrived.
