This book was compiled and written to present the reader with an overall picture of the extraordinary life, work and thinking of a remarkable Newfoundlander. Herbert J. Russell, C.B.E. - The Man, His Work, His Words by Paul J. Johnson & Harry A. Cuff traces Mr. Russell's life and career. It includes a collection of some of his speeches and debates that were kept by his family, and never were available to the public. These illustrate Russell's wide interests and deep concerns about creating a better world. His observations and ideas show how perceptive, forward-thinking, and public-spirited Mr. Russell was about his country, his people, and his direction of the Railway.
