Nova Scotia's lost communities : the early settlements that helped build the province / Joan Dawson. by Dawson, Joan, 1932- Nimbus Publishing, 2018. Call #: 971.6 D272n Subjects Extinct cities -- Nova Scotia.   Cities and towns -- Nova Scotia -- History.   Communities -- Nova Scotia -- History.   Nova Scotia -- History, Local.   Nova Scotia -- History. ISBN:  9781771086035 (pbk.) Description:  144 p. : ill.; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "Beaubassin was once a prosperous farming community at the head of the Cumberland Basin; Africville was the vibrant home of Black Nova Scotians who struggled to make a living and found spiritual solace in their church. Both are now gone, one a casualty of long-ago colonial warfare and the other a victim of misguided urban renewal. In this fascinating book, author Joan Dawson (A History of Halifax in 50 Objects) looks at 37 of Nova Scotia's lost communities: places like Electric City, Indian Gardens, and the Tancook Islands. Some were home to ethnic groups forced to leave. Others, once dependent on factories, mills, or the fishery, died as the economy changed or resources were depleted. But they were all once places where Nova Scotians were born, married, worked, and died, and they deserve to be remembered. Featuring over 60 archival and contemporary photos and illustrations, Nova Scotia's Lost Communities preserves those memories with fascinating insights."--Nimbus Publishing.
