Summary:
"While the family name
Ganong
makes many people think of Canada's oldest candy company, others will recognize it as the surname of a great
New
Brunswick
scholar,
William
Francis
Ganong
(1864 - 1941), who wrote more than many people have ever read. His range of interests is reflected in his vast body of work: botany, zoology, physiography, cartography, and native languages were all within his reach. But his greatest interest, subsuming all others, was
New
Brunswick
.
Ganong
endeavoured to write even his most scholarly papers for the general reader. An appreciation of
Ganong
's work and a biography of the man behind it, 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. Iillustrated with historical photographs,
Ganong
's own maps and drawings, and contemporary images."--Provided by publisher.
