New Brunswick: An Illustrated History by Ronald Rees
4.0
Being fairly new to New Brunswick (I moved here in 2008), I really didn't know much about its history despite growing up only one province away in Ontario. I had visited here once before in the 80's on a camping trip to the east coast, but other than that, NB was virtually unknown to me. Hence, I was on the lookout for a book on it's past.
"New Brunswick: An Illustrated History" by Ronald Rees was released in 2014 and as the author states in the preface:
"...this book is for general readers interested in the development of the province, not scholars and academics."
Perfect! Just what I was looking for. (To the author's credit, he does direct the reader's attention to more in-depth works.)
This book is just over 220 pages, and contains many B & W photographs and illustrations. The author is a former professor of historical geography at the University of Saskatchewan as well as being an adjunct professor at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick.
