About this Item

Township of Falmouth Nova Scotia: A new England Town in Nova Scotia; by John V. Duncanson; Mika Publishing Company, Belleville, Ontario, 1983. This book is comprised of two parts. The first part, 476 pages, is a reprint of the 1965 first edition, and the second part, 102 pages, is the 1983 Supplement and is the more complete and desirable book. The book is illustrated and has a fold-out map of Falmouth, tipped in at the rear of the book. From the blurb This book is a carefully researched record of the settlement in 1760 of the Township of Falmouth, Nova Scotia by pioneers from New England. Falmouth was one of the Minas Basin townships founded by the Crown to settle the lands which had been vacated by the Acadian French. From the introduction Since the publication of Falmouth A New England Township in Nova Scotia in 1965 many requests for copies have been directed to myself as well as to the Mika Publishing Company. It was therefore decided that a reprint of the 1965 edition would be published to meet this demand. The original book included more than 150 genealogies. These families lived on the west side of the Avon River from the head of the tide at Upper Falmouth to Mount Denson and Hantsport in the lower section of Falmouth Township. There are now many hundreds of descendants of the original French Acadian families and the New England Planters who replaced them in 1760. Over the years many corrections and additions to the original book have been forwarded to me. Many of these revisions will appear in the Supplement at the end of the current reprint John Duncanson, Duncanson and Dyke Roads, Falmouth, Nova Scotia Sept. 1983. This large book is in fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket that is now in a protective mylar wrap. Seller Inventory # 23129
