“Pratt’s history can be read and his thoughts heard through the works … The entries reflect time spent by Pratt all over the province – in Placentia, Salmonier, Carbonear, Gambo, the coasts of Labrador and dozens of other regions, inland towns and outport communities.  The entries also make mention of occassions in Halifax and Ottawa; London and Glasgow (where Pratt attended the Glasgow School of Art).  The notes provide Pratt’s thoughts, at certain points in his own history, on everything from the Newfoundland Railway, the Burgeo highway, an artist’s use of colour and the place of Atlantic Canada in the art world.”
