For too long, an attitude has persisted that “nothing ever happens or happened in the Maritimes”. Thankfully, there are people who demonstrate that isn’t true.
My guest today is Andrew MacLean, author, historian and storyteller, who has written series of books, newspaper columns and podcasts about bits of forgotten lore about the Maritimes, all under the title of Backyard History. He joins me to talk about the origins of this fascination and work, some of the stories he’s uncovered, and the upcoming third book, Backyard History: Rebellious Women in the Maritimes.
Andrew MacLean’s third book is in pre-orders now, and he will be giving a talk on Thursday, October 17 at 7:00 pm in Room 102, Tilley Hall at UNB on famous English author Juliana Horatia Ewing.
