The Siege of Fort Beauséjour by Chris M. Hand Notes
1 The Siege of Fort Beauséjour by Chris M. Hand Notes Early Conflict in Nova Scotia 1604-1749. By the end of the 1600’s the area was decidedly French. 1713 Treaty of Utrecht After nearly 25 years of continuous war, France ceded Acadia to Britain. French and English disagreed over what actually made up Acadia. The British claimed all of Acadia, the current province of New Brunswick and parts of the current state of Maine. The French conceded Nova Scotia proper but refused to concede what is now New Brunswick and northern Maine, as well as modern Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton. They also chose to limit British ownership along the Chignecto Isthmus and also harboured ambitions to win back the peninsula and most of the Acadian settlers who, after 1713, became subjects of the British Crown. The defacto frontier lay along the Chignecto Isthmus which separates the Bay of Fundy from the Northumberland Strait on the north. Without the Isthmus and the river system to the west, France’s greatest colony along the St. Lawrence River would be completely cut off from November to April. Chignecto was the halfway house between Quebec and Louisbourg. 1721 Paul Mascarene, British governor of Nova Scotia, suggested that a small fort could be built on the neck with a garrison of 150 men. a) one atthe ridge of land at the Acadian town of Beaubassin (now Fort Lawrence) or b) one more west on the more prominent Beauséjour ridge. This never happened because British were busy fighting Mi’kmaq who were incited and abetted by the French. -
Placenaming on Cape Breton Island 381 a Different View from The
Placenaming on Cape Breton Island A different view from the sea: placenaming on Cape Breton Island William Davey Cape Breton University Sydney NS Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT : George Story’s paper A view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming suggests that there are other, complementary methods of collection and analysis than those used by his colleague E. R. Seary. Story examines the wealth of material found in travel accounts and the knowledge of fishers. This paper takes a different view from the sea as it considers the development of Cape Breton placenames using cartographic evidence from several influential historic maps from 1632 to 1878. The paper’s focus is on the shift names that were first given to water and coastal features and later shifted to designate settlements. As the seasonal fishing stations became permanent settlements, these new communities retained the names originally given to water and coastal features, so, for example, Glace Bay names a town and bay. By the 1870s, shift names account for a little more than 80% of the community names recorded on the Cape Breton county maps in the Atlas of the Maritime Provinces . Other patterns of naming also reflect a view from the sea. Landmarks and boundary markers appear on early maps and are consistently repeated, and perimeter naming occurs along the seacoasts, lakes, and rivers. This view from the sea is a distinctive quality of the island’s names.

The Last Four Years
The Last Four Years Hello, I am Rankin MacSween and, today, I am announcing that I am a candidate to be Mayor of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality. I recognize that CBRM’s incumbent Mayor, Cecil Clarke, is very personally popular. He is extremely well liked and personable. My sense, though, as I have talked to people across the region about their hopes and concerns for our region, is that the predominant feeling is that CBRM can and must do better. People are very hopeful about the future but the vast majority seem to recognize that not much has improved in our circumstances during the past four years. Indeed, in many ways, the last four years have been about lost opportunities to make a real difference. In 2012, Cecil Clarke made dozens of commitments to the voters of this region. Some of the more fundamental of these commitments have simply evaporated. The main political commitment from the 2012 campaign was that Cecil would be able to strike a far better relationship with the federal and provincial governments which, in turn, would enable a greatly increased level of investment in infrastructure projects across the CBRM. I think we can agree that this simply has not happened! 1 The City Charter is nowhere to be seen; the proposed $300 million federal-provincial-municipal infrastructure program has been completely abandoned; the idea of the CBRM being the most business friendly municipality in Atlantic Canada somehow is not supported by the fact that we have been evaluated as the third worst place to live in Canada; and the CBRM’s signature economic infrastructure initiative, the construction of a second berth at the cruise terminal, has been in limbo for several years. -

It was only a mere decade after Louisbourg’s final siege in 1758 that inhabitants had begun to resettle on the fortification’s ruins. Louisbourg was one of the first historic sites to be considered for designation under the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada (1919), which resulted in two waves of expropriations, one in 1928 and another in 1962. Due to the initial removal of twelve families in the 20s and fifty-two properties from the extensive 1962 expropriation, there remained a silence in Louisbourg’s official narrative. -
