History of New Brunswick

Gelesen von Roger Melin

(3,667 Sterne; 3 Bewertungen)

Originally published in 1825 under the title: Sketches of New Brunswick : containing an account of the first settlement of the province, with a brief description of the country, climate, productions, inhabitants, government, rivers, towns, settlements, public institutions, trade, revenue, population, &c.;, by an inhabitant of the province. The value of this history is in the fact that it was written when the Province was still in its infancy. Although there had been a few small settlements established in New Brunswick prior to 1783, the main influx of settlers were Loyalists who chose to remove to the area from the United States following the American Revolution.

One sided view of the history of New Brunswick totally disregarding the first nations and French. Typical English condescending colonial view of the world. The First Nations and Acadians lived in harmony for over 100 years in the land he claims as inhabitable. He doesn't mention the genocide of the Acadian and and First Nations at the hands of the farm stealing colonists.
