"The French Territory of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, lying a few miles off the south coast of Newfoundland, is the last vestige of France's once-proud colonial empire of the North American continent. Through war and peace, conquest by the English and deportation of its entire population on three occasions back to their homeland, Saint Pierre and Miquelon have still remained French and today exhibit the same charm and the way of life that one associates with Metropolitan France. This book tells the story of the island Territory and its people, the first book of its kind in English. Carefully researched with co-operation by officials at Saint Pierre, it bears the mark of approval of the Governor, whose letter of introduction is included. It is up-to-date, recording events up to within a month of its date of publication. Being "discovered" these days by growing numbers of Canadians and Americans, Saint Pierre offers a bit of old France within easy and convenient reach of the shores of Canada--a hance for tourists to enjoy a truly "foreign" atmosphere next door to home."--Publisher.
