CIP Post-secondary Reviewed by Floyd Spracklin. Volume 18 Number 3 1990 May Soe Longe as There Comes Noe Women is W. Gordon Handcock's study of English migration to Newfoundland during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As the author states in the preface, "The principal objective is to reconstruct and explain the patterns of migration" because it is "of central importance in understanding the making of Newfoundland society." Handcock began his research in 1973, and the thirty-four pages of footnotes and fourteen pages of bibliography attest to the intense and in-depth work in this socio-economic study. The numerous maps, graphs, tables and charts also enhance the book's academic value. Handcock delves into the pattern of migration from English homelands to the various nooks and crannies of Newfoundland and into the personalities of such original communities. Making available hitherto unknown and untapped primary sources of information, Handcock's book is a treasure trove for the university student intent on studying Newfoundland's heritage.
