Halifax - South End (Paperback)

Few cities in North America compare to Halifax, capital of Nova Scotia, when it comes to history. Since it was founded in 1749, Halifax has been the venue for a wide range of historical firsts, ranging from the first Martello Tower to the first city lit
entirely by electrical light, from the first divorce court to the first zoo, and from the first distillery to the first saltwater ferry service. Halifax: South End looks at this wonderfully historic and varied city, concentrating on the South End and the downtown area from the 1860s through 1920. During this period, great change enveloped Halifax. War, fire, explosions, and other disasters reshaped the city, yet there were also joyous occasions to celebrate. Included in this collection are many never before seen photographs of the people and places of Halifax as well as images borrowed from the Public Archives of Nova Scotia. Discover life as it was lived during these volatile and formative years, with a city reflecting on its connections to Great Britain while forging ahead as part of a new country.
