NEWFOUNDLAND DISASTERS
By JACK FITZGERALD
Newfoundland Disasters, one of several Canadian best-sellers by Jack Fitzgerald, has been revised to include a new chapter on deadly avalanches and winter storms. This book updates the 1942 unsolved mystery of the Knights of Columbus arson which claimed 99 lives, and offers a possible solution to the crime. This is a gripping and dramatic presentation of a series of major calamities and loss of life, each of which relates amazing stories of courage and endurance. The book includes the following chapters: Avalanche at the Battery, The Truth Behind the K of C Fire, The Viking Disaster, The Sinking of the Caribou, The Hull Home Tragedy, and The Fire Destruction of St. John’s, 1892. |
