Garrison Town to Commercial City

In Garrison Town to Commercial City: St. John’s, Newfoundland, 1800 to 1900, the late Ron Rompkey has compiled and edited articles that present a collage of styles and perspectives that give the reader a taste of life as it evolved throughout the nineteenth century, a time when St. John’s emerged from its status as a garrison community and took on the characteristics of a more industrialized city. The writers recount significant events that contributed to a sense of community in St. John’s.
