  • 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.

  • Pioneer Explorer of Western Canada
    family moved to Montreal. Nurtured by his father’s interest in education and natural his- tory, Dawson developed as the distin- guished son of paleobotanist Sir William Dawson. At nine, Dawson showed symptoms of an illness that would permanently affect his life. RROCKOCK STARS STARS He was stricken with a rare and serious form of tuberculosis, affecting the spinal vertebrae (Pott’s disease). For several years he was bedridden and wore a body truss. He was left with “the torso of a hunchback,” the “stature of a ten year old,” and recurring headaches, impediments which make his later achievements all the more extraordi- nary. Regular schooling was impossible, so he continued his studies with tutors at home. In this environment, he was able to pursue a wide variety of subjects beyond the normal school curriculum, including using the mi- croscope and blowpipe, photography, and drawing. He absorbed knowledge readily, satisfying his avid intellectual curiosity, and never complaining about his disabilities. In 1868, Dawson entered McGill as a part- time student, attending lectures in English, chemistry, and geology. A year later, he sailed to England to attend London’s Royal School of Mines (RSM).

  • Unfortunate Child
    UNFORTUNATE CHILD … not John A. of Kingston, for by all accounts he’d rather drink whiskey than make it, but John A. of Perth, who’d rather sell it than drink it …1 John A. McLaren (1831-1901) On Saturday December 7, 1901, 70-year-old John A. McLaren, suffered what the local newspaper called “a slight apoplectic attack”2; but despite the best efforts of local practitioner Dr. David Munro (1842-1903), assisted by “Dr. Stewart3, the Montreal specialist”, Perth’s ‘Whiskey4 King’ died of “acute spinal paralysis”5 on Wednesday, December 11th. Described by the Perth Courier as the community’s “keenest businessman and largest individual taxpayer”6, McLaren was a very wealthy man and, as his condition deteriorated over those five days in December, business associates, employees, friends, family and the merely curious converged on his Wilson Street7 home. Among these was his half-sister, Elizabeth ‘Eliza’ Cameron-McIntyre (1841-1915) of Renfrew, who arrived at his bedside on Monday evening December 9th. Eliza’s concern, however, was not primarily for John A.’s comfort in his final hours, but for what she hoped to gain by his imminent death. Two days later, as John A. breathed his last, Eliza crept into “a room at the end of the hall [and], from the top of a red box, took down a brown valise”8 containing McLaren’s most important personal papers. She broke open the lock, extracted her brother’s last will and testament and, enraged by what she read, “sent it up in smoke”.9 1 Perth Courier, December 15, 1865.
