LANCEMENT DE LIVRE « People of Cove and Woodlot, Stories Across 100 Years of Memories » PAR ALEXANDER ET TED LEIGHTON

Alexander and Ted Leighton, father and son, wrote a rich, sometimes touching and sometimes hilarious portrait of the people they knew and loved in Digby County, Nova Scotia during the first six decades of the 20th century. Canoe across Nova Scotia in 1927; perform a magic show in 1929 in the Clare region on horse-drawn carts; discover satisfaction, self-reliance and inspiration—but also poverty and prejudice—among the people of the Acadian forests, the hills and shores of Bear River and Smiths Cove, as well as in the valleys of Meteghan Station: the authors offer readers striking portraits of real people and lived events.
