Description:
Toronto: Natural Heritage, 2009. 236 pp, 9" H. B&w photographs, reproductions. "Chronicling the history of Black families of the Yarmouth area of Nova Scotia, (this book) is a mirror image of the hopes and despairs and the achievements and injustices that mark the early stories of many African-Canadians. This extensively researched history traces the lives of those people, still enslaved at the time, who arrived with the influx of Black Loyalists and landed in Shelburne in 1783, as well as those who had come with their masters as early as 1767. Their migration to a new home did little to improve their overall living conditions, a situation that would persist for many years throughout Yarmouth County. By drawing on a comprehensive range of sources that include census and cemetery records, church and school histories, libraries, museums, oral histories, newspapers, wills, 'The Black Loyalist Directory', and many others, this is a history that has been overlooked for far too… Read More

Description:
Halifax, NS: Nimbus, 2015. 130 pp, 9" H. B&w and colour photographs, reproductions, maps. "On December 6, 1917, harbour pilot Francis Mackey was guiding 'Mont Blanc', a French munitions ship, into Bedford Basin to join a convoy across the Atlantic when it was rammed by Belgian Relief vessel 'Imo'. The resulting massive explosion destroyed Halifax's north end and left at least two thousand people dead, including pilot William Hayes aboard 'Imo'. Who was to blame? A century later, this question is still unanswered. And yet, following the explosion, federal government and naval officials found in Pilot Mackey a convenient target for public anger. Charged with manslaughter, he was imprisoned, villainized in the press, and denied his pilot's license even after the charges were dropped. He is still unfairly linked to the tragedy today. (This book) shares informatiion never before revealed, from evidence of federal coverups to Mackey's family lore. Examining… Read More

Breton Books, Wreck Cove, Cape Breton Island, 1992. 222 pp, 8vo (9" H), soft cover. B&w photos. "The triumph of a life and a triumph of a book! 'Archie Neil' is a beautifully written collaboration that will keep alive forever the life and stories of Archie Neil Chisholm. Saddled with polio, pride, and a lack of discipline - Archie Neil lived out the contradictory life of a terrific teacher floundering in alcoholism. His growth, plunge, and rise as an extraordinarily valuable person in the Cape Breton community is good, lasting reading. From outrageous good humour to excellent storytelling, this book is a remarkable achievement..." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - a few small soft creases on covers, minor edge wear, minor rubbing, spine flat with one light crease. VG.

"The fine furniture tradition in Canada's eastern provinces was influenced by the arrival of the Loyalists in 1783.

Description:
Toronto: Douglas Gibson / McClelland and Stewart, 1987. 219 pp, 8 3/4" H. Small b&w illustrations. "As (Horwood) describes the land around his home the beauty of his prose is breathtaking, whether he is writing about finches, stars, vegetables, seaweed, beech trees, ponds, garter snakes, or squirrels hiding cookies all over the house. No city-dweller will be able to read this book without a sigh of envy at the life the author and his family have created in 'one of the truly magical places on the earth'. But (it) is much more than just a book about nature described by an expert. For Harold Horwood's detailed observations lead on to a more philosophical plane. The discovery of earthworms knotted to preserve moisture causes him to speculate on DNA and how worms 'remember'. A description of blue herons fencing in a courtship battle, where their razor-sharp bills inflict no damage, leads to the subject of war. These and similar themes are provocative, challenging,… Read More

Wreck Cove, Cape Breton Island: Breton Books, 1993. 249 pp, 9" H. B&w photographs. "These are the folk tales from Dr. Helen Creighton's life journey through the Maritime Provinces, collecting songs and ghost stories and old cures - and folk tales. Helen serves as our guide, introducing us to storytellers, setting the scene of the telling - and then she lets the person tell it as they told it to her. The feel of the kitchen and the fish shed still cling to these stories. Some are long, really miraculous folk tales - miraculous in detail and in that they managed to survive. Others are the brief riddle or the tantalizing quick-telling that a folklorist can expect along the way. Helen kept it all. And read as a whole, the reality and intensity of those smaller pieces reveals their value in among the more finished, well-told tales. (This) is a Maritime treasure."

"Nobody, least of all the McCain brothers, imagined that the little frozen foods plant they opened in 1957 would, before the century was over, make Florenceville into the French fry capital of the world. Wallace and Harrison McCain worked hard and played hard and turned their family's name into the most famous Canadian brand in the world. Because they knew people were their most important asset, they hired and trained enthusiastic, independent thinkers to help them build McCain Foods into a global powerhouse in the frozen food industry. In doing so, they benefited not just themselves but thousands of employees all over the world as well as the millions of consumers who enjoy the convenience and nutritional benefits of McCain products. It's an amazing Canadian success story. How did they do it? That's what this book is about." Previous owner's name/info. on free front… Read More

Don Mills, Ontario: Thomas Nelson & Sons (Canada), 1979. 182 pp, 8vo (8 1/2" H). B&w plates. "James McGivern Humphrey tells of a fascinating life, from his early years in New Brunswick, to his peaceful days of retirement in Aberdeen, Scotland. This is an account of Colonel Humphrey's distinguished service in the Canadian Army: his performance in France during World War I which earned him the Military Cross for gallantry; and his duties during the Second World War as the co-ordinator of Auxiliary Services, providing for the after-training needs of the men and women in service. This is also a story about Humphrey's personal life - his family history, his boyhood, his own family, and his life in the community and business world during times of peace." Dust jacket has light to moderate rubbing - small scuff on front panel, very light edge wear/wrinkling, one very small closed tear.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good+/Good+.

Description:
Toronto: Hounslow Press, 1998. 414 pp, 9" H. B&w photographs, reproductions. "Realizing from mediaeval documents that the initial Nova Scotia refuge of A.D. 1398 must have harboured many Grail believers, and that the secret colony must have expanded, Bradley began to trace evidence of Grail Knights from Nova Scotia, through New Brunswick to the St. Lawrence River, and on to the Great Lakes as far as Niagara, New York State, and central Pennsylvania. Evidence of their presence has been uncovered on both the Canadian and American sides of this great waterway. Bradley poses compelling questions about his discoveries, and offers plausible and provocative answers as we travel with him and his companions (both academic and amateur) along the trail of the 'Grail Knights of North America'." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - tiny bump at bottom edge of rear cover. . First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good+.
