Newfoundland and Labrador has much more to offer than what is found in tourism guides. For explorers both local and from away who wish to step off the beaten track, this guide is for you. This province is filled with geologic wonders, mysterious histories, curious structures, and off-the-beaten-path destinations. From unexplored cave systems to the remains of Cold War-era aircraft, from deteriorating churches in long resettled communities to abandoned air force bases, from the remains of Newfoundland's first pulp mill to the intricate mines below many communities, this book will inspire wonder and curiosity -- and raise awareness of the many unusual and peculiar locations that are nestled throughout this province. Hidden Newfoundland describes over 80 of these marvellous, sometimes mysterious places. Each site description includes historical context, information about the area and, of course, insider's directions for how to get there.

St. John Island, USVI. Travel Guide, Vacation, Holiday, Honeymoon. It may be the smallest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, but St. John is a natural wonder of luminous crescent bays and perfumed forest groves. It's got miles of pristine parkland, fresh-scented hiking trails, and mossy peaks with panoramic views. It's got probably the best beaches per capita of any Virgin Island. It's got a sleepy, secluded feel if you can't chill out here, well, then better get thee to an apothecary. In fact, St. John is where St. Thomas locals come to "plug out. They don't call it "Love City" for nothing. St. John is no mere pretty face, however. It has in the ruins of 18th-century sugar plantations a landscape dotted with its own trail of tears. It's got churches: 18 at last count. St. John has no airport and no cruise-ship pier. Nonetheless, it is a favorite day-trip destination from nearby islands and a popular ferry excursion for cruise-ship passengers from St. Thomas. But the day-tripper and cruise-ship crowds that stream over in the morning are generally gone before nightfall.

The 25th Anniversary edition of St. John People is as diverse and interesting as the rainbow-hued Virgin Island residents that populate it's 290 pages--from Pappy Sewer to Elvis Yearwood and Guy Benjamin; from Ethel McCully to Cid Hamling and Ernest Matthias; from Andromeada Childs to Herman Sprauve, Gerda Marsh, and Herman Prince. What does St. John have to do with the birth of the Atomic Bomb? Read Nancy Gibney's enthralling profile of local lay-about Robert Oppenheimer to find out. Who was John Anderson and why did he write the Night of the Silent Drum? Ruth Lowe, author of "St. John Backtime", will tell you. What caused a young senator-to-be Theovald Moorehead to request a discharge from his Naval career, rush back to St. John, and begin his fight against the National Park's plan to 'relocate' the local population to Green Valley (Fish Bay)? Local journalist Amy Roberts will be happy to inform you. Why was the original title of the most famous book ever written about St. John--"I Did it with Donkeys"--rejected by its New York publisher? When was Coral Bay the 'big city' on St. John? Which St. John artist/craftsperson has a piece in the Smithsonian Collection? How did Kitty Oppenheimer's sailboat end up in Panama? What happened in 1733? What's the local legend about those red rocks on Mary's Point? What local sailing inkslinger drove the POTUS crazy by sailing back and forth in front of Caneel Bay with "While Nixon Lazes, Indochina Blazes" painted on his gaff-rigged sails? Interested in artists? Les Anderson and Karen Samuel couldn't be stylistically more different--and yet both couldn't be more passionate about their love of this tiny island and its smiling people. Are you wondering about the different writing styles of such local literary talents as Amy Roberts, Dana Harrison, Shurna Rabsatt, Lito Valls, Lynda Lohr, Susan Barry, Doris Jadan, Gilbert Sprauve, Erva Denham, Guy Benjamin, and/or Cap'n Fatty? Russian opera singers? Freedom riders? Crazy sea gypsies? Vogue magazine? Who was the Bionic Creole? What professor with a doctorate in linguistics from Princeton speaks fluent French and was bahn here? What's the connection between the East End and Walt Disney's "Fantasia"? Whose 'Backyard' was it? What famous St. Johnian vowed she'd never be a waitress nor a secretary--then fell in love with Love City so much she did one for years in order to afford a lifetime of the other? It's all in the newly updated St. John People--a 'must-read' for local folks, long term residents, and short-term visitors alike.

Get ready to be transported back to a nostalgic time in St. John's history when survival meant clearing the land for cattle pastures, cultivating the soil and fishing...all the feed one's family. Seven generations of heartfelt stories of love and loss abound in this family memoir about the US Virgin Islands. Rich in history and heritage, the author shares some of the most memorable stories that have been handed down in her family from generation to generation. "When a prominent St. Thomas merchant accumulates 2,500 acres on the island of St. John to raise cattle and cultivate bay leaves, he has no idea that his generation will be the last to farm the land. During the 1920s to the 1950s, Herman O. Creque's hard work pays off on his estates of Annaberg, Mary's Point, and Lamesure, but at the peak of their profitability, he dies, leaving them all to his wife, Emily. Francis Bay is their children's favorite with almost thirty years of summer memories, fishing, hunting, and crabbing. One day, the beach and summer cottage will be theirs, or so they believe. When two conservationists from the United States, Laurance Rockefeller, and Frank Stick visit the island in 1952, they find the unspoiled nature of Emily's lands enchanting and "wish to preserve them for the enjoyment of the nation." Little do Emily's children suspect that life as they know it is about to change forever, and the unthinkable will tear their family apart. Vintage St. John is a collection of their heartfelt memories woven together from personal interviews. They paint a vivid picture of life before the establishment of the Virgin Islands National Park... and life shortly after." * This memoir Includes a brief history of the Creque Marine Railway on Hassel Island, the ownership of the island of Mingo Cay, Jeffrey Epstein's Little St. James Island, Norman Island and 140 acres of Peter Island in the British Virgin Islands. * Other stories include: Vacationing in Cruz Bay 1955, Memories of working at Caneel Bay 1983, Cultivating onions at Cinnamon Bay 1903, Growing bay leaves at Lamesure Estate for the Bay Rum Industry and the raising of livestock with a new type that originated in St. Croix, called Senepol cattle 1930s.

Sabrina Salter traded a high-pressure job as a Boston meteorologist for life as an innkeeper on sun-soaked St. John. But storm clouds roll in when Sabrina finds Carter Johnson, her most attractive guest, tucked up in a hammock way past check-out time...and he's not just dead to the world, he's just plain dead, with a bullet hole in his chest. This isn't the first time Sabrina has seen a dead body, and the island police are well aware of that. Thanks to her checkered history, not to mention the fact that she was the last person who saw Carter alive and far from entirely clothed, she finds herself marked as the prime suspect. The U.S. Virgin Islands may be the sort of place where even defense attorneys wear flip-flops, but the laid-back life is over for Sabrina unless she can clear her name. So, she sets out to solve the crime, only to find herself caught in a tidal wave of adultery, kidnapping, identity fraud and murder in No Virgin Island, C. Michele Dorsey's outstanding mystery debut.
