The Romance of Old Annapolis Royal

The Romance of Old Annapolis Royal - by Charlotte Isabella Perkins

CHARLOTTE PERKINS shares the colourful history of Annapolis Royal, founded in 1604 and once the capital of culture and influence in the New World. From revered Judge Haliburton, to the outrageous Clara Sabeans, and the cruel slave owner suspected of murder, Perkins preserves the mystery and romance of her beloved home.

Using personal anecdotes, Perkins introduces the leading families of the once bustling garrison town. By doing so, she breathes life into old family names, many of which are no longer seen in the community beyond the old cemetery, its headstones ravaged by time.
