Growing Up in Nipper's Harbour
Here is the budding consciousness of a young girl in a small Newfoundland fishing community during the final years of its prosperous isolation. As a treasured only child, she weaves diverting observations with delicate introspection to create an intriguing view of her society and herself. Wonderingly, she gradually becomes aware of the local economy and culture: the hustle and muscle of an unusually rich fishery, her matrix of relatives and religion, the annual rituals and daily rounds, the home remedies and hopeful charms. Accidents and illness make her mindful of a wider world. Education requires travel. And the gravel road snaking steadily over rocky hills will fade her birthplace into a feeding of memories. This fate she shares with many millions who have sustained similar changes. - Dr. Harold Paddock, Professor of Linguistics, emeritus, Memorial University of Newfoundland

Buried El Dorado
In 1915, the discovery of oil in El Dorado had a massive impact on not only the area, but the entire oil industry. But what about the people who lived and died here before "the oil field that won World War I" was discovered?Long before Stapleton #1 appeared on the horizon, a new town in Butler County called El Dorado was founded, named after a legend that tells of a golden city somewhere in the Americas. Pioneers flocked to Butler County in the 1870s, lured by the cheap prairie land and big promises.The cemeteries of El Dorado tell the quiet stories of perseverance and hardship of these early pioneers' lives. Small family cemeteries, forgotten graves in vanished settlements, and a cemetery relocated to make way for El Dorado Lake serve as silent reminders of the individuals who shaped this land.This book explores El Dorado's early days through the cemeteries that preserve the memory of the pioneers who made it their home, long before oil reshaped the landscape.
