[Daniel Macgregor · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is dated and comes from a very bias point of view (mainly that of the Catholic Church), but regardless it provides a broad look into one of the largest Acadian centres in Nova Scotia. If you have an interest in local history, local Cape Breton history, or Acadian history, I would highly recommend this book.
