Description
This is the true story of the Stehelins, a prestigious family from Normandy, France, who came to Nova Scotia in the early twentieth century to carve out a new life in the wilderness. The family's achievements were legendary--they built their own railway and installed their own electricity to the incredulity of all those around. Their amazing tale of creating an "electric city" in the wilds of Nova Scotia is the stuff of romance, challenge, and intrigue.
