McConnell library program June 12
A.J.B. Johnston returns to Cape Breton for the French Colonial History Society conference at CBU and Fortress of Louisbourg (June 13-15) and is giving a free public talk at the McConnell Library (Sydney) on Wednesday, June 12, 7 p.m.
John promises a lively and illustrated talk on what he calls “A Top 10 History of Louisbourg.” This is of course the 300th anniversary year of the founding of Louisbourg and there are numerous activities planned in the area all summer long.
Johnston’s impressive list of books include several from CBU Press, including Storied Shores: St. Peter’s, Isle Madame and Chapel Island in the 17th and 18th Centuries, Endgame 1758 and just last year a novel: Thomas, A Secret Life.
A number of books by A.J.B. Johnston will be available for sale at this talk.
