The life story of Honourable Oswald Ingraham, J.P., M.P., Speaker of the House of Assembly and Deputy to the Governor General of the Bahamas, is a remarkable tale worth sharing with the world. From Island Lad to Honoured Statesman of the Bahamas traces the forces that shaped young Oswald’s character and the circumstances, opportunities, perseverance and hard work which led him from his humble home and his father’s fields in Tarpum Bay to the ceremonial halls of Parliament and the chandeliered rooms of Government House in Nassau. The biography of Honourable Oswald Ingraham reveals the past through the life of one of the Bahama’s most remarkable citizens. It also highlights what should inspire all of us in the present: dedication, loyalty, humility and faith in God who directs the paths of those who give their lives to Him.From the Foreword by Rev.
