Description
New Brunswick Was His Country. An appreciation of Ganong's work and a biography of the man behind it, rather than an exhaustive critical assessment, this fascinating overview will appeal to any reader interested in the natural and settlement history of New Brunswick and the working life of its most extraordinary scholar, from his summers conducting field research in Passamaquoddy Bay to his pivotal role in founding the New Brunswick Museum. New Brunswick Was His Country is an essential addition to Atlantic Canada's historical canon.
