[ Grenfell / Labrador Days: Tales of the Sea Toilers ]
Sir Wilfred Thomason Grenfell (1865 - 1940) was an English physician who devoted his career to providing medical and social services to the inhabitants of Newfoundland and Labrador; he was knighted for that work
This book, one of many Grenfell wrote about his experiences in Labrador and Newfoundland, was published in 1919 (New York: Houghton Mifflin).
The only specific reference to Newfoundlands is metaphorical, as Grenfell recounts the story of man rescued from the ocean: "a second later he was safely inside the boat, and standing shaking himself like some great Newfoundland dog."
Grenfell is the subject of two biographies discussed here at The Cultured Newf: Fullerton Waldo's With Grenfell on the Labrador (1920) and Dillon Wallace's The Story of Grenfell of the Labrador (1922).
