Summarizes Grenfell's first contact with the residents of Labrador
Wilfred Grenfell was sent to Newfoundland in 1892 to improve the plight of coastal inhabitants and fishermen. The initial Grenfell text, Vikings of To-day, is intended to summarize three years among the residents of Labrador. These three years would lead to a lifetime spent in aid and passionate defense of the Labradorians. Beginning with descriptions of the environment, Grenfell sees the hardships and ingeniousness with which these people live off the land and maintain an indomitable spirit.

WILFRED GRENFELL, an Englishman by birth, joined the Royal National Mission to Deep-Sea Fishermen in 1877 as a medical missionary. In 1912 Grenfell organized the International Grenfell Association, with branches in England, the United States, Canada, and Newfoundland. It was this association that stood behind Grenfell's work during the latter part of his life.
