Another great book from Newfoundland's favourite story teller.

The Day Grenfell Cried is Earl Pilgrims true story of what happened when Dr. Wilfred Grenfell helped the poor people of northern Newfoundland and Labrador. Grenfell's problems with the fish merchants started when he helped form cooperatives, beginning with the one in Red Bay, Labrador, in 1896.

Living conditions, both on the Labrador coast and onboard merchant-owned vessels returning to Newfoundland after a summer's fishing, were a far cry from the way many of us vintage gentlemen, and gentleladies, first learned of them in our grade six[?] history book The Story of Newfoundland and Labrador.
