Description

A man from Port aux Basques is living a long way from his hometown, but he sure hasn't forgotten his roots. Dwight Anderson lives in Sarnia, ON, and he's researching and writing about the history of the southwest coast of Newfoundland all the time. His third book, "People and Stories from Southwestern Newfoundland," will be out soon - and there's not much time left to pre-order it.
