Impressions
of
Cape
Breton
gathers together descriptive
impressions
of
Cape
Breton
Island, dating from 1634 to 1941, as selected by historian Brian Douglas Tennyson. Some of the
impressions
are overwhelmingly positive -- 'Sydney harbour is justly considered one of the finest ports in America' -- some are harsh -- 'nothing but the most absolute necessity can possibly induce me to pass another year here' -- and some downright amusing -- 'In no place of similar size in British America, will you find gentlemen possessed of more general information, or ladies of better tone and manners.' This is the first volume in the
Cape
Bretoniana Research Series. Brian Douglas Tennyson is a professor emeritus at
Cape
Breton
University.
