"...this may be the book to read before visiting, to become
acquainted or you may wish to get it after your visit, to remember
the past."--Elizabeth Patterson "Cape Breton Post "
"This visually appealing and well-organized visitor's guide to the
reconstructed 18th-century fortified town of Louisbourg features a
brief survey of the town's history before, during, and after the
French period; a sensibly organized walking tour with informative
essays on all the major buildings and structures ons site; a
percpetive explanaiton of the challenges faced and met in
reconstructing Louisbourg; and even advice on sights and trails in
and around Louisbourg for those who seek more than a day visit
experience. This is unquestionably the best Louisbourg visitor's
guide to date. Its first-rate introduction to the history of
Louisbourg makes it a valuable resource for high-school and
undergraduate students as well."--Olaf Janzen
