Rose Fortune – the previously untold story of an amazing woman.
“The more I learned about Rose Fortune, the more I wanted to know. Who was she? Where did she come from? How did she become not only the first female police officer in Canada but the first Black police officer as well? Who would have thought that the little town of Annapolis Royal was the home of such an important figure in Canadian history? And to add to all this she was MY great- great-great grandmother.”
—Maggie B. O’Donnell
“This is a remarkable biography of a remarkable person which integrates reconstructive non-fiction with critical documentary history. Anyone with an interest in the freed Blacks who came to Loyalist Nova Scotia after the American War of Independence will want to, and will need to read this book.”
—Barry Cahill
