Description:Antigonish County is a rural community steeped in a unique heritage. Many of the residents’ ancestors came from the highlands of Scotland, and their culture and strong values still resonate through every day life in Antigonish County. These, however, were not the first settlers to the county—prior to the arrival of European settlers, the Mi’kmaq occupied the territory and had been living in this area for many centuries. The Acadian French began to settle in the eastern part of the county when they returned to Nova Scotia after their Expulsion. Many residents still celebrate their Acadian heritage in honour of their ancestors who settled here. Later, the Irish Loyalists and the Black Loyalists were granted parcels of land to begin new settlements. These historic images of the town and countryside celebrate life in the late 1890s to the 1940s. Unique to the area are pictures of events and celebrations that marked the early beginnings of the area, and serve to show the reader the vibrant community life that existed here.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
