The neck of land joining Nova Scotia and New Brunswick was settled after the Acadian expulsion by New Englanders and then by families from Yorkshire. Trueman, writing out of his own family’s records, describes their arrival, the Eddy Rebellion of 1776, the first churches, and farm diaries that note year after year the day the apple trees bloomed.

A warm local and family history, valuable to genealogists and to anyone with Maritime Canadian roots. Download the free EPUB.
