Nova Scotia & Prince Edwards Island, International Travel Maps 4e édition

Nova Scotia is one of the most historic provinces of Canada, having become British as a result of military conquest in the 1740s. Initially, the British distrusted the Acadian settlers and moved many of them to French settlements in Louisiana, which was then a huge area of land. Some of the Acadians stayed in the South, becoming known as Cajuns; others eventually found their way back north. The fortress of Louisburg, on Cape Breton, was state of the art for its time, but was seized by the British anyway and used throughout the American revolutionary war as a bastion of British strength. The fortress has been restored and is now a national monument. Luneburg, and Halifax are both very interesting cities to visit, and Peggys Cove is probably in more peoples photo albums than any place in North America, outside of Niagara Falls. This is an excellent map as well to portray Canadas smallest province, Prince Edward Island, the home of both Canadian confederation and of the famous Anne of Green Gables, the fictional heroine of Lucy Maud Montgomerys novels.
