"Wild and Woolly stories of rural life in Cape Breton and eastern Nova Scotia—stories that only an insider can know! Tony MacKenzie delivers the passion, gossip, ridicule and wit of people who give this part of the world its distinctive flavour. Regarding the giant mosquitoes that afflicted the rural dwellers of the fictitious Little Island: "The horses that pulled the mowing machines were more vulnerable. Johnny Tom Magee, one day in the long ago, had the misfortune to break a Pitman bar on the mower. He took a chance on walking home to get a new bar—had to make one, likely. On his return he found no team of Clydes patiently waiting, but only a quartet of giant mosquitoes pitching horseshoes in a contest for the right to eat Johnny Tom!" "This is the real stuff that historians usually leave out.""--Publisher's website.
