Description

Impressions of Cape Breton presents fascinating views of Cape Breton and its people from 1634 to 1941, showing how the island developed, how its population changed and how communities grew or declined. While we learn much about Cape Breton history and its rich culture from these accounts, we also learn much about the eclectic cast of characters -- from explorers to entrepreneurs, settlers to surveyors, and military officers to travel writers -- who wrote them, and about the attitudes of the times in which they wrote them.
