While the information contained in this book focuses on Conception Bay’s North Shore and Grates Coves, Trinity Bay, it is comparable to other rural and one-time remote outport communities throughout Newfoundland and Labrador during the mid-1800s to mid-1900s. As such, this book should be of interest to a wide range of individuals. It is anticipated that readers from NL will enjoy the opportunity to revisit and reminisce about local culture and traditions whilst others will see rural NL in a way they may never have seen or read about before.

To that end, motivation in capturing stories, lore, and ballads from the North Shore and Grates Cove and including them in a book comes from the writer’s belief in the importance of documenting, preserving, and celebrating local history, traditions, and cultural ways of living so that future generations will remember them.
