by Ford Fairford
Ford Fairford is an author associated with travel and descriptive writing about Canada. Available library and public-domain records confirm him as the author of Newfoundland and Canada, including the book Peeps at Many Lands: Newfoundland.
From the surviving records, Fairford seems to have written in a popular, informative style aimed at helping general readers picture a place through its landscape, people, and everyday life. Because reliable biographical details about his personal life are scarce in the sources I could confirm, it is best to remember him through the books themselves and their warm, accessible portraits of the regions they describe.
