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.
