History of New Brunswick

A compact historical and geographical account of a northeastern province that chronicles its settlement by displaced loyal inhabitants, the hardships of early colonization, and the establishment of local government and institutions. It offers county-by-county sketches, descriptions of climate, rivers, towns, natural resources, trade and population, and comments on agricultural prospects and emigration. Drawn from limited written and oral sources, the narrative blends topographical description, statistical observations and practical advice, noting gaps in records and intending to provide a useful outline for readers and prospective settlers.
