  • Francis I. W. Jones Treason and Piracy in Civil War Halifax: the Second Chesapeake Affair Revisited "A Terrible Retribution
    Francis I. W. Jones Treason And Piracy In Civil War Halifax: The Second Chesapeake Affair Revisited "A terrible retribution awaits the city of Halifax for its complicity in treason and piracy." From the diary of Rev. N. Gunnison Reverend Nathaniel Gunnison, American Consul at Halifax, wrote to Sir Charles Tupper, provincial secretary of Nova Scotia, 10 December 1863, stating that the Chesapeake "had been seized by a band of pirates and murder committed" (Doyle to Newcastle 23 Dec. 1863; Lieut. Governor's Correspondence, RG 1). 1 The Chesapeake was an American steamer plying between New York and Portland, Maine, which had been captured by a party of sixteen men, led by John C. Braine, who had embarked as passengers at New York. After a foray into the Bay of Fundy and along the south shore of Nova Scotia, the Chesapeake was boarded and captured by a United States gunboat the Ella and Annie in Sambro Harbor fourteen miles from Halifax. She was subsequently towed into Halifax and turned over to local authorities after much diplomatic burly­ burly (Admiralty Papers 777). The affair raised several interesting points of international maritime law, resulted in three trials before the issues raised by the steamer's seizure, recapture and disposition were resolved and was the genesis of several myths and local legends. It not only provided Halifax with "the most exciting Christmas Week in her history" TREASON AND PIRACY IN CIVIL WAR HALIFAX 473 (McDonald 602), it posed the "most thorny diplomatic problem of the Civil War" (Overholtzer 34)? The story of the capture and recapture of the Chesapeake has been told several times with varying degrees of accuracy.

  • This Index to the Collections and Journal of the Royal Nova Scotia
    This index to the Collections and Journal of the Royal Nova Scotia Historical Society was prepared with the assistance and support of the PATHs program of Canada’s National History Society. They generously provided the Royal Nova Scotia Historical Society with two grants which underwrote the preparation of an index that included all of the materials the Royal Nova Scotia Historical Society has published since its inception in 1878. Canada’s National History Society is perhaps best known as the publisher of The Beaver. The entries are in the following format with the template information in normal typeface and the index supplied information in italics. Subject title. By author. In Collections or Journal Vol volume number, pp. pages. Type with/without documentation. Paper presented date. Eras: era1; era2. For this presentation format the citation for each article is repeated after each index point. The index also provided some information on the type of article or document that was published. The categories used are: Analytic study Bibliography Chronological Narrative Descriptive Narrative Document Genealogy Memoirs (1st person voice) Obituary Review The articles were also categorized by the time period of the events that were related. The categories used were: Creation of planet to 1600 AD 1600 - 1758 [Acadian Nova Scotia] 1713 - 1867 [Colonial Nova Scotia] 1867 - 1914 1914 - 1945 1945 - The index also notes if the article is documented or not. Although endnotes or footnotes automatically placed an article in the documented category the absence of them did not necessarily label the article as without documentation. '2ND BATTALION OF H.

  • THE EVOLUTION of PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY in NOVA SCOTIA by Brian Cuthbertson Ph.D., Historical Researcher
    THE EVOLUTION OF PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY IN NOVA SCOTIA by Brian Cuthbertson Ph.D., Historical Researcher THE ORIGIN OF REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT Mi’kmaw Territory At first European contact around 1500, the traditional Mi’kmaw territory ran from Cape Breton Island through mainland Nova Scotia, all of New Brunswick east of the Saint John River and north to the Gaspé Peninsula. For much of the year the Mi’kmaw relied on marine life while going inland during the winter months to hunt. The pre-contact population, generally estimated at 15,000, was soon decimated by epidemics of European imported diseases. During the “great dying” the Mi’kmaw suffered a mortality rate between 75 and 90 percent. French Acadia Although throughout the 16th century, the Mi’kmaw had seasonal contact with French and Portuguese fishermen, it was not until the founding of Port-Royal Habitation in 1605 that the French became permanent settlers. Good relations developed between the French and the Mi’kmaw and especially with their great chief Membertou. There was inter-marriage and the developing trade in furs for European goods provided a living for the few French who resided permanently in Acadia. By 1650, there were between 45 and 50 households at Port-Royal engaged in agriculture and the dyking of salt marshes had become the accepted practice. Since the first French and English settlements, there had been imperial rivalry. The English had attacked Port-Royal three times. In 1654, England gained possession of Acadia and would retain it until 1670. However, there was only nominal English rule and no attempt at English settlement, though a considerable trade grew up between Acadia and New England.

  • Schmidtville Struggles to Balance History and New Development
    " # (HTTP://HALIFAXMAG.COM) (http://halifaxmag.com) SCHMIDTVILLE STRUGGLES TO BALANCE HISTORY AND NEW DEVELOPMENT LINDSAY JONES (HTTP://HALIFAXMAG.COM/AUTHOR/LINDSAY-JONES/) ! NOVEMBER 27, 2015 CITYSCAPE (HTTP://HALIFAXMAG.COM/CATEGORY/CITYSCAPE/) chmidtville just got some serious street cred. S The small urban pocket of historic homes nestled behind Spring Garden Road is one of the top three best neighbourhoods in the Great Places of Canada contest. Fourth-generation Schmidtville residents William and Christopher Breckenridge entered the contest. “You’re surrounded by universities,” says William Breckenridge. “You can go to the Public Gardens. You can walk to work. You can have a home with a garden. Absolutely every kind of need or want is around you.” The brothers’ motivation was simple: to save Schmidtville from being swallowed by more high-rises. The city is working on designating the area a provincial heritage conservation district with rules about demolition and development, but the plan won’t come into place until public consultation is complete in 2017. Meanwhile, the dump trucks and diggers are busy redeveloping what was once part of Schmidtville between Clyde Street and Spring Garden. “I just feel that the whole area is getting surrounded by buildings much larger than the little houses,” says Breckenridge, referring to the nine- storey Mary Anne going up on Clyde and Queen streets, its soon-to-be-built twin, the Margaretta, and a controversial 17-storey building proposed for Brenton Street. Vancouver’s West End beat out Schmidtville for best neighbourhood in the contest. Quartier Petite Champlain in Old Quebec was also a finalist.

  • Lawyers in Nova Scotia 1850-1910
    148 MANITOBA LAW JOURNAL REVUE DE DROIT MANITOBAIN The Roots of a Professional Renaissance: Lawyers in Nova Scotia 1850-1910 Philip Girard* THE LAST QUARTER OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY witnessed several attempts to create a national bar association in Canada. One of these was spearheaded by John Thomas Bulmer, a Halifax lawyer and social reformer, who was given carte blanche by the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society in his efforts in this regard. The campaign was going rather well until some unguarded remarks by Bulmer were reported in the press. He had cited as justification for the creation of a national organization the fact that Nova Scotia had done as much as could possibly be done within her own frontiers to raise the standards of 1991 CanLIIDocs 169 legal education and enhance the position of the legal profession. The time had come to proselytize: "there was not much use trying to raise the standard in Nova Scotia", he lamented, "with the low averages all about us of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and Ontario". Predictably, his remarks were less than well received in the rest of the Dominion, and attendance "from the other provinces, and especially from Ontario, was noticeably weak" at the 1896 inaugural meeting of the "Canadian Bar Association" in Montreal.' * Philip V. Girard is currently Acting Dean at Dalhousie Law School. He holds law degrees from McGill and the University of California, Berkely, and is the Editor (with Jim Phillips) of Essays in the History of Canadian Law: Vol. III, Nova Scotia (1990). His current research involves a major study of Beamish Murdoch's Epitome of the Laws of Nova Scotia.
