The new land

Our text book gives a history of sea travel and describes a bit about explorers who helped to map our province.
For an excellent history of Nova Scotia, I recommend this book by Lesley Choyce. The first couple of chapter's give a history of explorers, who ventured around this great province. Much more detailed than in our text book.

You can see the pond in the middle of the track, that Dr. Conrad talked about today in class.
