  • Narrative of the Emigration from Wales to New Brunswick, Describing in Detail Both the Voyage and the Emigrants
    BOOK REVIEWS 205 narrative of the emigration from Wales to New Brunswick, describing in detail both the voyage and the emigrants. Documents such as "Cin Sef" which describe events from the people's point of view are both rare and important. Despite their humble appearance, they deserve to be collected by the principal archives of all countries shaped by migration in recent centuries. Strangersfrom a Secret Land powerfully emphasizes the importance of history, and of the memories and documents which enable us to know the past. Thomas encountered reluctance among a few members of the Welsh community to share their knowledge with him; knowledge of the past is not easily obtained nor is it simply a piece of paper to be pinned on the wall. Historians have no monopoly on their subject so it is appropriate that a professor of literature, himself an emigrant, should in this book so effectively illustrate that history is our "inner territory, the soul of the tribe." Marianne McLean National Archives of Canada Cape Breton At 200: Historical Essays in Honour of the Island's Bicentennial. KENNETH DONOVAN, ed. Sydney, Nova Scotia: University College of Cape Breton Press, 1985. 261 p. ISBN 0-920336-34-5 This collection of ten essays on various aspects of Cape Breton's social and economic development commemorates the bicentennial of the creation of Cape Breton as a separate crown colony in 1785. The fourth collection of historical essays on Cape Breton to appear in the last two decades, this is by far the most ambitious. Unlike earlier collections, none of the essays have been published previously and only a few of the contributors have written elsewhere on similar topics.

The first annual Mod was held in the same year as the College’s founding: in 1939. The Gaelic word “mod” originally referred to a court held by a Highland chief for settling disputes over rent and other matters. Today, it refers to a Gaelic cultural competition that may include recitation, storytelling, drama, instrumental performance (especially bag- pipes), dance and Gaelic song. Competitive Gaelic mods were first developed in Scotland, where the Royal National Mod was established in 1892 based on the Welsh equivalent, the Eisteddfod, which was established in 1880. in the mid-1950s. This was no minor feat since road Cape Breton’s Mod was a major success in its access to the College was limited at the time and early days, attracting 4,000-5,000 attendees within many people arrived from places such as North less than ten years, peaking at 7,000-8,000 attendees Sydney and its environs via boat.
