At The Crossroads The History Of Sackville New Brunswick William B Hamilton by William B. Hamilton 9781894031868, 1894031865 instant download after payment.

'At the Crossroads is a history of settlement on the Isthmus of Chignecto and the place that would become the town of Sackville, New Brunswick. William B. Hamilton takes us from the earliest Mi’kmaq activity 4000 years ago through to the town’s centennial celebrations in 2003. Along the way, we are introduced to life in the Arcadian communities of the eighteenth century, later waves of settlement, agricultural pursuits, the foundries, the establishment of the Mount Allison University facilities, the town’s shipbuilding era, issues of governance and incorporation, the wars, the local building boom of the 1960s and the increasing focus on tourism, heritage and arts that characterize the most recent decades. Throughout the centuries, Hamilton draws our attention to the town’s continuous reliance on its position as a crossroads.

At the Crossroads is the result of Hamilton’s keen and conscientious fascination with how people understand and engage with the past. His method, which he calls “working backward into history” incorporates varied perspectives and sources of information, and operates from a local experience, first and foremost. Drawing on material from newspapers, journals, letters, interviews, maps, photos, art, buildings, reports, minutes and personal experience, Hamilton provides a colourful and active picture of Sackville’s history and its position in regional, national and international affairs.

This is a community and a history filled with newspaper wars, fires, political fervor, ambitious building projects, undying volunteer efforts, dedication to learning, radio waves, business savvy and more. This is a book not only for those who know and love Sackville, but for anyone seeking a local perspective on Maritime and Canadian history, and a new and engaging approach to the past.'
