Series: Public Archives of Nova Scotia Publication No. 5. The collection began with the varied activities of Captain Gideon White, the founder of the family in Shelburne, Nova Scotia, and also one of the founders of that romantic loyalist town, was continued by his immediate descendants both as makers and preservers of history, and completed by Thomas Howland White, Esq., who realized fully its historical value and presented it to the Public Archives of Nova Scotia in 1938.

This work showcases two forgotten stories from Silas T. Rand, Baptist missionary who wanted to translate bibles into the Mi'Kmaq language and learned how to do so by recording the oral traditions of the Mi'Kmaq people, published in 'Legends of the Micmacs'. Peter Sanger uncovered two manuscripts in the Rand holdings of Acadia University, including the story of Little Thunder (dictated to Rand by Susan Barss in 1847) and a manuscript of stories told by someone we only know as old man Stevens. Rand's original book and these manuscripts are some of the earliest examples of indigenous Canadian literature recorded in the original language.
