Jean Pierre Roma of the Company of the East of Isle Saint Jean

"Restless, energetic, and strong-willed, Jean Pierre Roma brought settlers and convict labourers to carve an international trading empire out of the virgin forests of 1700s Isle St. Jean (Prince Edward Island). Roma's dreams, feuds, and parties enlivened the wilderness as he expanded his influence. Maker of the Island's first roads, builder of a thriving community at Trois Rivieres (now Brudenell Point, PEI), and successful entrepreneur, he saw all his accomplishments destroyed by privateers in 1745. Yet the story of Roma lives on as an inspiration and a cautionary tale to modern-day leaders and builders." "Roma continues as the heart of the "Roma at Three Rivers" historic site and nature trails in Eastern Prince Edward Island. This book invites you to retrace his life and walk in his steps on the site where he lived."--BOOK JACKET.Jill MacLean is the author of 'Jean Pierre Roma of the Company of the East of Isle Saint Jean', published 2005 under ISBN 9781894838153 and ISBN 1894838157.
