5.0 out of 5 stars
I am from Nova Scotia so I could be biased, but it was a great read,
By
This review is from: Loyalists and Layabouts: The Rapid Rise and Faster Fall of Shelburne, Nova Scotia, 1783-1792 (Paperback)
The author does a great job telling the story of Shelburne using old journals from early settlers. This is not a book that gives a detailed historical account. Having said that a reader will be be able to get a glipse of the town and the feelings and attiudes of the time/settlers by the way Kimber tells the story using the settlers journals. Kimber does a good job creating a good, interesting flow using the journals, as I can only assume that the original authors of the journals were not planning to have them published in a book read by others someday.The story starts with the would be settlers prior to the American revolution. This way the reader knows where they came from and why they left. The reader gets an idea of each persons drives, ambitions, hopes and dissapointments.
