To several persons, in and out of the county, for material aid in the writing of this book, the author desires here strongly to express his thanks. Major Robert William Starr, of Wolfville, has the widest knowledge of any person living in the county of the general details of the county's history, and from first to last the author has had Major Starr's cordial and most important help. To Mr. John Burgess Calkin, LL.D., of Truro, Mr. John Elihu Wood worth of Berwick, Hon. Judge Savary, the accomplished editor and part author of the valuable calnek-savary History of Annapolis; to Harry Piers, Esq., of Halifax, Miss Donohue, Acting Librarian of the Nova Scotia Historical Society, the Rev. Edward Manning Saunders, D.D., of Halifax, Mr. Gustavus E. Bishop, of Greenwich, Mr. John E. Chapman, of Boston, and in connection with the chapter on authors and literature the Rev. Arthur John Lockhart, of Winter port, Maine, the author owes deep debts of gratitude. For con tinual inspiration and suggestion he owes much also to his cousin, Dr. Benjamin Rand, of Harvard University, one of the best friends Nova Scotia, and indeed Canada at large, has in the United States. By his cousins, Ralph Samuel Eaton and Mrs. Wilford Henry Chip. Man, of Kentville, the author has also been helped in important ways.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating history of a region in Nova Scotia, known as Kings County, offering a vibrant tapestry woven from the threads of diverse cultures and pivotal historical events. The author unveils the story of this land, from its early inhabitants, the Micmac Indians, and their rich mythology and traditions, to the arrival of the Acadian French who transformed the landscape with their industrious dyke-building and agricultural expertise. The tragic expulsion of the Acadians in 1755 marks a turning point, paving the way for the influx of New England planters who brought with them their own customs and institutions, shaping the county's identity anew. The narrative further explores the subsequent arrival of Loyalists after the American Revolution, adding another layer to the cultural mosaic. As the author traces the evolution of Kings County, the reader encounters not only the broader strokes of historical change but also intimate glimpses into the lives of families, their origins, and their contributions to the community. The book delves into the development of various religious denominations, educational institutions, and literary pursuits, painting a comprehensive picture of a society taking shape. Political developments and the county's role in the province's militia are also explored, providing a well-rounded understanding of the forces that shaped Kings County. By illuminating the intricate interplay of cultural influences, historical events, and individual lives, this book offers profound insights into the unique character and enduring legacy of a region that has played a significant role in the larger narrative of Nova Scotia.
