Historic Cumberland County South: Land of Promise by Roger David Brown - 2002-01-01

Nimbus, 2002-01-01. Paperback. Very Good. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Southern Cumberland County, with Chignecto Bay on one side and Minas Basin on the other, has been identified by its geography: great cliffs, eroded Appalachian mountains, lush inland valleys, and the sea. Over a century ago, the area was a veritable "land of plenty" busy with the activity of settlement and work. Extensive coal fields fed a successful coal mining industry, while the fertile valleys sustained farms and lumber mills, and the Parrsborough Shore supported a busy shipbuilding industry. 159 pages, profusely illustrated with black and white photos.
