Wilfred Grenfell: His Life and Work is a biographical account of the life and achievements of the renowned medical missionary, Sir Wilfred Grenfell. Written by James Lennox Kerr, the book chronicles Grenfell's journey from his upbringing in England to his work as a physician in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Grenfell's tireless efforts to improve the lives of the impoverished and isolated communities of the region are detailed, including his establishment of hospitals, nursing stations, and schools. The book also explores Grenfell's role as a social reformer, advocating for improved living conditions and workers' rights. The author draws on a wealth of primary sources, including Grenfell's personal diaries and letters, to provide a comprehensive and engaging portrait of this remarkable individual. The book is a testament to Grenfell's enduring legacy as a humanitarian and a pioneer of healthcare in remote and underserved regions of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
