<p>Have you ever been to the LaHave Islands Marine Museum on Bell Island? How about the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre in Judique, or the Africville Museum in Halifax? Joan Dawson has. Armed with a spirit of adventure, curiosity, and the belief that \u201ctreasures can be found in unlikely places,\u201d the author-historian has scoured Nova Scotia\u2019s National Heritage Sites and community museums for the fifty objects that best \u201cembody the history and culture\u201d of the province. <\/p>
\n<p>Casting a wide net, from a pair of good-luck Nantucket Whaler shoes to a Mi-Car\u00eame seven-beast mask, Dawson unearths the many arcane and overlooked items whose stories collectively form Nova Scotia\u2019s historical fabric. Entries are arranged in chronological order, from prehistory to present-day, and each one includes a photograph, description, and contextual history of the object. Written in an engaging, narrative style, A History of Nova Scotia in 50 Objects is both a fabulously unique approach to the province\u2019s history and an interactive treasure hunt.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
