Description:
171 p. : ill. ; 22 cm.
Summary:
"The origins of each of these 477 strange names are explained and any notable or quirky history is described in detail. Of course, many of these names become "unusual" only when they are at a distance from the place of their origin. Joe Batt's Arm, for example, may seem unusual to a Manitoban (not to Newfoundlanders). Pokemouche could sound odd to an Ontarian (but familiar to New Brunswickers). This book also includes little-known facts, trivia, and occurrences from the Atlantic provinces, and also 18 mini-biographies of famous, infamous, and not-so-famous-but-still-interesting Atlantic Canadians. David E. Scott lives in Allanburg, Ontario"--Provided by publisher.
