Farley Mowat, one of Burgeo's Celebrity Residents
This page is dedicated to one of Burgeo's most famous residents, if you read his book you will understand and come to find why we love the southcoat of Newfoundland. Why we are living elsewhere with our hearts at home. You need not be from the southcoast to understand our passion, sometimes bitterness to what is happening to a way of life that has changed little over the centurys and with government intrusion, this more simple way of life is being drimatically changed.
The front cover of his book "The New*Founde*Land
The dedication from the back cover...
An excerpt from Mr. Mowats book on page 69. In a conversation with an unnamed fisherman from Francois.., this passage says it all for many from the whole southcoast and was unforgettable to me.
