Churches
of Nova Scotia

time periods, and architectural styles.

Myth,
Migration and the Making of Memory: Scotland and Nova Scotia,
C.1700-1900
Nova Scotia is the most Scottish part of Canada, linked by bonds
of Clearance and Gaelic culture. This collection of essays discusses
the relationships between Scotland and Nova Scotia and Canada
as a whole, over the centuries.
After
the Hector: The Scottish Pioneers of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton,
1773-1852
This is the first fully documented and detailed account, produced
in recent times, of one of the greatest early migrations of
Scots to North America. The arrival of the Hector in 1773, with
nearly 200 Scottish passengers, sparked a huge influx of Scots
to Nova Scotia and Cape Breton. Thousands of Scots, mainly from
the Highlands and Islands, streamed into the province during
the late 1700s and the first half of the nineteenth century.
The author traces the process of emigration and explains why
Scots chose their different settlement locations in Nova Scotia
and Cape Breton. Much detailed information has been distilled
to provide new insights on how, why and when the province came
to acquire its distinctive Scottish communities. Challenging
the widely held assumption that this was primarily a flight
from poverty, the book reveals how Scots were being influenced
by positive factors, such as the opportunity for greater freedoms
and better livelihoods.
Evangelical Balance Sheet: Character, Family, and Business in Mid-Victorian Nova Scotia Using the journals of W. Norman Rudolf (1835-1886), a Victorian merchant, "Evangelical Balance Sheet" explores the important role of character ideals and evangelicalism in mid-Victorian culture. Rudolf's diary, with its daily weather observations, its account of family matters, of social and business happenings, and of his own experiences, as well as occasional literary or naturalistic forays, attempts to follow a disciplined regime of writing, but also has elements of a Bildungsroman. The diary reveals an obvious and significant tension between his inner, spiritual search for meaning in his life (evangelical inwardness) and his outward stewardship duties. Rudolf's concept of character, then, involved a type of balance sheet of his evangelical service record, to his God, his family, his business, and his community. Needing God's help to transform his will and to interpret the world in a constructive, rational manner, the underlying intent of his daily journal writing was to keep his commitment to an ethic of benevolence and of the affirmation of the goodness of human beings. Wood elucidates the cultivation of civic-minded masculinity in the context of Victorian Maritime Canada, analysing the multiple facets of the character ideal and emphasising its important role in Victorians' understanding of their life experiences. In the process, Wood reveals many underlying assumptions about social change and about civic discourse. The book also describes how the tremendous economic upheavals experienced by many entrepreneurs in the late 1860s to 1880s tempered their evangelical zeal and made it increasingly difficult for them to achieve a balanced and humane perspective on their own lives.
Songs
Remembered in Exile: Traditional Gaelic Songs from Nova Scotia
In April 1932, John Lorne Campbell, while on a visit to the
United States, took the chance of going to Cape Breton Island
and Antigonish County in Eastern Nova Scottia, to find out how
the descendants of emigrants from the Scottish Highlands and
the Hebrides were faring in their new country, and to what extent
the Gaelic language had been maintained among them. In September
1937, after four years on Barra, he returned with his wife,
Margaret Fay Shaw, taking with them a recorder in order to collect
Gaelic song and tradition and compare it with surviving tradition
in the Western Isles. This book is the result of that expedition.
As a preface the book includes an account of the collapse of
the Hebridean kelp industry after 1820 which led to the bankruptcy
of the last Chief of the MacNeils of Barra in the direct line,
and which was a major contributory factor to the great flood
of emigration from the Hebrides to Canada and America. The title
refers to the traditional song and lore preserved by emigrants
from Scotland in the new land to which they came. Much of the
tradition has been lost in Scotland and was only to be found
in Nova Scotia.
