The Skipper Parson: On The Bays And Barrens Of Newfoundland is a book written by James Lumsden and published in 1905. The book is a memoir of Lumsden's experiences as a missionary in Newfoundland. Lumsden was a Scottish Presbyterian who came to Newfoundland in the late 1800s to serve as a minister to the people of the remote coastal communities. The book is a collection of stories and anecdotes that Lumsden gathered during his time in Newfoundland. He writes about the people he met, the places he visited, and the challenges he faced as a missionary in a rugged and isolated region. Lumsden's writing is vivid and descriptive, painting a picture of the harsh beauty of the Newfoundland landscape and the resilience of the people who lived there.The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Lumsden's experiences. He writes about his travels by boat to the various communities he served, his interactions with the people he met along the way, and his efforts to bring the gospel to the people of Newfoundland. Lumsden also writes about the natural history of the region, describing the flora and fauna he encountered on his travels.Overall, The Skipper Parson: On The Bays And Barrens Of Newfoundland is a fascinating look at a bygone era in Newfoundland's history. Lumsden's writing is engaging and informative, providing a glimpse into the lives of the people who lived in this remote and challenging region. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in Newfoundland history or the history of Christian missions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
