Loneliest Isle Tristan da Cunha Described in Detail
A detailed portrait of Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic notes its tiny population of 94 in 16 families, lack of doctors or professionals, the governance by Corporal Glass, and the community’s simple, self-sufficient life with gardens, livestock, and annual mail visits from a British ship.
