"James Hiller surveys and evaluates the political career of Robert Bond (Sir Robert
from 1900) from the time of his first election in 1882. Bond resigned his seat in
1914, but remained a politically significant figure until his death. He was at the
centre of political life in Newfoundland for over 30 years, and prime minister from
1900-1908. Remembered as the man who might have saved Newfoundland from the humiliation
of surrendering responsible government in 1934, Bond has been described as 'Newfoundland's
only statesman.' James Hiller seeks to determine whether this reputation is warranted.
Rich with archival images of Robert Bond, his contemporaries, and of Newfoundland
in the covered period."
