Synopsis

This book chronicles an era of great change in rural Nova Scotia. At the turn of the 20th century, the children of homesteaders were venturing out from the farmsteads their parents and grandparents had carved out of the Canadian wilderness. The author presents an evocative account of a unique period, when the old and new coexisted. The writer's personal experiences and insights into local folklore, customs, religious practices, and early laws afford a glimpse into a vibrant chapter of regional history. Themes of hardship, self-sufficiency, and the restless spirit of a people in flux are explored, offering fresh perspectives on the enduring human stories at the heart of community and tradition.
