Ebook: Hope restored: the American Revolution and the founding of New Brunswick

Few Canadians realize how close the colony of Nova Scotia came to joining the American Revolutionary War in 1775. Many Nova Scotians were immigrants from New England. Between family ties and unrestrained privateering, there was much sympathy in Nova Scotia for the American Patriots. In Hope Restored, Robert Dallison tells the story of how the British raised two regiments and sent their members to the area that became New Brunswick, thus overcoming the groundswell and fending off Patriot attacks. Hope Restored describes many Loyalist and Revolutionary War sites, some of which can be visited today. Robert L. Dallison served for 35 years with the Canadian Army. He has travelled the world and is a respected historian. New Brunswick History, Canadian Military History, Canadian Author.
