The River That Isn’t

A Tale of Survival and Prosperity, River Bourgeois, Cape Breton, 1714 to 1994

“Any book about River Bourgeois (Cape Breton, N.S.) is bound to be of great interest. This is one of the oldest and most enduring communities in Cape Breton and the present-day inhabitants of it carry with them not only the memories, but the many good, solid attitudes of other times. I am absolutely delighted that Garvie Samson has taken it on himself to write this book and I hope it will get the audience it deserves.”
