This was an interesting book about Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, where my 4th great grandfather settled as a New England planter. His name was Thomas Merrill. Kristy and I have been back there three times to explore the area. We have stayed there several nights.
This book was sent to me by my "cousin" to enjoy. He lives in New Brunswick.
I learned a lot from this book and enjoyed reading it.
