The Consequences of Loyalism : Essays in Honor of Robert M. Calhoon / edited by Rebecca Brannon and Joseph S. Moore. Columbia, South Carolina : The University of South Carolina Press, 2019. xii, 333 pages ; 24 cm.
Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - E277 C65 2019
Since the 1970s scholars have regarded Robert M. Calhoon as an invigorating and definitive force when it comes to the study of American Loyalism. His decades-long work redefined the Loyalists' role in the American Revolution from being portrayed as static characters opposing change to being seen eventually as reactionary actors adapting to a society in upheaval. Loyalists were central to the Revolution, and Calhoon and these authors argue that they were not so different in ideology from their Patriot neighbors — except occasionally when they were. In The Consequences of Loyalism, Rebecca Brannon and Joseph S. Moore seek to provide an understanding of Calhoon's foundational influence and the development continuing in the wake of his prolific career. Includes bibliographic references and index.

Stanley, Sir Henry Morton, 1841-
Through the dark continent : or, The sources of the Nile, around the great lakes of equatorial Africa, and down the Livingstone River to the Atlantic Ocean / by Henry M. Stanley. Toronto, ON : J.B. Magurn, 1878. 2 volumes in 1. : portraits, illustrations, plates, maps ; 23 cm.
Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - DT351 S83 1878
Perhaps best known as the intrepid adventurer who located the missing explorer David Livingstone in equatorial Africa in 1871, Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904) played a major role in assembling the fragmented discoveries and uncertain geographical knowledge of central Africa into a coherent picture. He was the first European to explore the Congo River; assisted at the founding of the Congo Free State, and helped pave the way for the opening up of modern Africa. In this classic account of one of his most important expeditions, the venerable Victorian recounts the incredibly difficult and perilous journey during which he explored the great lakes of Central Africa, confirming their size and position, searched for the sources of the Nile, and traced the unknown Congo River from the depths of the continent to the sea.

The Ash family spent one hundred fifty years farming in Willoughby, Warwickshire in England, while the Redmond family fished and farmed in St Margaret's Bay, just south of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. My wife Fran's family came from France to Quebec in the 17th century, and both our families had pioneers who experienced the Scottish Clearances. This book is about the history that they and their ancestors lived - from the prominent Redmond and Devereux families in County Wexford, Ireland, to the pioneers who lived in early Canadian history.
