For more than seventy years Twillingate - Newfoundland's Capital of the North - was home to its own weekly newspaper, the Twillingate Sun. Founded by J. P. Thompson in 1880, the paper kept locals informed on a wide range of topics, including world events and Governmental news from Newfoundland's capital, St. John's.First and foremost, the Sun was a local paper, geared to the needs of readers in outport Newfoundland. Its pages always included many happenings from Notre Dame Bay, particularly the area that now makes up the Provincial District of The Isles of Notre Dame: Twillingate, New World Island, Change Islands and Fogo Island.This work is the first in a two volume set. In it, David Clarke presents some of the Twillingate Sun's most interesting editorials, correspondence and letters, spanning its entire run from the 1880s to the 1950s. These are arranged by topic area, such as the fishery, Confederation, church histories, and marine disasters. The work is illustrated throughout, and includes introductions and commentary by Dr. Clarke.
