Alternate title:  From the life and stories of Archie Neil Chisholm of Margaree Forks, Cape Breton Life and stories of Archie Neil Chisholm of Margaree Forks, Cape Breton Archie Neil Chisholm of Margaree Forks, Cape Breton Edition:  1st ed. Description:  xiii, 222 p., [8] p. of plates : ill., ports. ; 23 cm. Notes:  Some copies may be permabound. Summary:  A biography, oral history and anthology. Saddled with polio, pride, and a lack of self-discipline, Archie Neil Chisholm lived out the contradictory life of a terrific teacher floundering in alcoholism. His growth, plunge, and rise as an extraordinarily valuable person in the Cape Breton community are told here in a beautifully written collaboration, full of outrageous good humour and excellent storytelling. This book is a remarkable achievement for writer Mary Anne Ducharme, as the life itself - at once graceful and generous - is a remarkable achievement for Archie Neil Chisholm. Archie Neil Chisholm was born in the community of Margaree Forks in Inverness County, Cape Breton. He was a graduate of the Nova Scotia Teacher's College in Truro. In 1926 he began a teaching career at South River Lake School that was to span 64 years as a public school teacher and principal. He was a founding member of the Glendale Fiddlers Association. From 1979 until 1982 he hosted Archie Neil's Cape Breton, a series of half-hour programs on CBC Radio featuring conversation, music, songs and stories from Cape Breton. Archie Neil Chisholm died in 1997. Genre:  Biographies. Other authors:  Chisholm, Archie Neil.
