The First Acadian; Charles de St Etienne de la Tour

(142 pages)

A fascinating history of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick: from pre-teen to Governor of Acadié, survival via friendship with the Mi’kmaq, the lucrative fur-trade, love and marriage, conflict and war, and historic outposts/fortresses of today’s Maritimes. This is Peter’s 4^th book for New World in the past 7 years of his eleven books in history and for historical education. Peter has 3 degrees in history; is an interesting storyteller who makes good historical connections — this is a lighter read, but thoroughly researched and comprehensive historical story about a fascinating character in Maritime history: it is also well-promoted in the Atlantic region.
