Summary

In broad terms, my approach to writing this book has been to present, firstly -- as far as is possible, a general historical background to Raymond Island and it s subsequent development since first being opened up for settlement; secondly, to record the background histories of some of the early settlers; thirdly, by featuring a number of present-day residents, to convey an image of the type of person who today chooses to become an islander and thereby becomes part of a small community that, even in 1986, is 'different'.
