About this Item

pict. paper wraps, 217 pages : illustrations, folding map frontispiece, portraits, back wraps creased, very scarce, of special interest to genealogists, Named "Island of the Bear" by the Maliseet people,[1] the location takes its name from islands (Big Bear and the Little Bear Islands) in the Saint John River. With the development of the downstream Mactaquac Dam in 1968 and the consequential rise in water levels, Bear Island is technically a misnomer, as the islands no longer exist, and the entire area referred to as Bear Island is on the shore of the dam's 96 kilometer headpond. Many of the area's homes were razed in order to make way for the headpond .{with thanks to wikipedia}. Seller Inventory # 1125558038
