Description: The often entertaining place names of Newfoundland and Labrador are known far and wide. Names like Little Heart's Ease, Come-By-Chance, Blow-Me-Down and many others. This book explains how these and 1,650 others received those names and succinctly tells the history of each, where the name origins and histories have been recorded. Unfortunately, only 863 of those names have survived to have a place on the Official Travel Map of Newfoundland and Labrador, but this book also includes the names and histories of 791 former com-munities. It's an effort to help preserve some of the province's fascinating history before it is lost to future generations. Also included are descriptions of more than 200 natural and man-made attractions, more than 200 little-known and often amusing bits of trivia and brief biographies of 71 Newfoundlanders who are famous, in-famous, or little-known, but interesting. Makes a great gift for all ages and is a fun companion on a road trip.
