Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. "A Century at Chignecto" is a compelling historical account that centers on the Isthmus of Chignecto, the strategic gateway connecting Nova Scotia to the North American mainland. This region, often described as the "Key to Old Acadia," served as a primary theater for the intense 18th-century geopolitical conflict between the British and French empires.Through a detailed narrative, Will R. Bird chronicles the turbulent hundred years that defined the maritime frontier. The work delves into the construction and fall of Fort Beausejour and Fort Lawrence, providing deep insight into the military maneuvers and political tensions that ultimately led to the Expulsion of the Acadians. Beyond the battlefield, the book explores the lives of the early settlers-both the Acadian farmers who successfully diked the marshlands and the Yorkshire families who followed-offering a vivid portrayal of the social and economic foundations of the region.Written with an eye for both historical precision and human interest, "A Century at Chignecto" remains an essential resource for those interested in Canadian colonial history, military strategy in the New World, and the enduring legacy of the Acadian people and their struggle for survival in a contested land.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
