Author Information

"Mark Haynes, a resident of Havendale, Nova Scotia has been researching the history of the Acadians of Canso now for twenty five years. His interest began in 1979 when on moving to the area from Vancouver, a neighbour told him of an old French fort on the outskirts of nearby Guysborough village. ""Coming from British Columbia, the oldest thing I had ever seen was a tree. Here were ruins from the 1600's. Having read two books on the history of the area, I was absolutely fascinated that neither author had any idea when European settlement began at Guysborough, other than it was sometime during the French period"". While working at various locations in the Arctic for the Dept. of Public Works, he wrote his findings in book form postulating the reason the roots of the area were unknown. In 1996 he was invited to Poitier University in France to present his findings which resulted in an offer of scholarly publication. More importantly it lead to new leads and further research. In honour of Congres Mondial 2004, Mark is pleased to present this most unusual, yet controversial history of the Acadians of Canso. Ist Prize Non-Fiction 1995 Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia for an unpublished manuscript."
