Description

2011 marked 250 years since the coming of New England and Irish Planters to Nova Scotia. Necessaries and Sufficiencies is a social political, cultural and material microhistory of 18th-century daily life in the district of Cobequid, now part of Colchester County. Vignettes from a cross-section of immigrants detail migration and settlement and the evolution of New England and Irish cultural mores in this wilderness setting.
