Grand Pre was one of the sites for the Acadian Deportation in 1775. From the

settlement in 1680 and the deportation of early Acadians, to the mass marketing of the

Dominion Atlantic Railway and the federal reshaping as a National Historic Site,

Grand Pre has served "as a historical clue, a focal point, a catharsis, a catalyst, and a

motivator, both for Acadians and for others." (Back cover)

Pierre Du Gua De Monts (1558?-1628) was a governor of Acadia and

founder of the first permanent settlement in Canada. In 1604 with Samuel De

Champlain he established a colony at Ile Sainte-Croix (Dochet Island). Due to

many unfavourable living and farming conditions he moved the colony to Port-

Royal the following year. "New information, relating to Pierre du Gu, seems very

limited-even after the lapse of between three and four centuries. The present

offering consists of a legal document, two receipts signed by de Monts, some

pictures of his native country (vicinity of Saintonge), and considerable

genealogical data." [Preface]

5. Richard, Edouard. Signature of Edouard Richard and a

printed portrait. "A. Alphonse E. Corriveau Avocat Montreal

signature page and portrait are in very good condition and from the

1895 New York edition of Acadia Missing Link of a Lost Chapter

in American History. $60.00

Richard was born in Princeville, Quebec to Louis-Eusèbe

Richard and Hermine Prince. After receiving his law degree in

1867, taking courses at both Université Laval and McGill College,

Richard began to practice in Athabaskaville with Wilfrid Laurier.

He practiced for several years before being elected to the House of

Commons from Mégantic in 1872 and was re-elected in 1874. His

health forced him to not seek reelection in the 1878 Canadian Parliamentary elections. Politically, Richard was a

liberal protectionist. Richard became the sheriff of the Northwest Territories soon after leaving the House of

Commons, and remained in that position until January 1883. After resigning from his post as sheriff, he sought

election to the House of Commons again in 1883 in St. Boniface, but was defeated by Alphonse Alfred Clément

Larivière. Richard sought election once more, in 1889 in Provencher, but Lariviére again defeated him. Richard

was of Acadian heritage and following his last failed campaign, he returned to Athabaskaville and began to

immerse himself in his heritage. He fervently promoted the Acadian cause, petitioning for an Acadian museum,

working on his own research, and even starting a campaign for reparations. An 1893 article in Toronto by Pierce

Stevens Hamilton and histories by Francis Parkman and Thomas Beamish Akins spurred Richard to begin his own

published history. His work, “Acadia, Missing Links of a Lost Chapter in American History”, was published in

two volumes in 1895. His work was controversial, both for mixing English and French in text and, more

significantly, lacking annotations and citations. In 1897, Richard, who never married, was named the successor to

Joseph Marmette as the official Canadian archivist in France. This was his last main work before his death in

Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan in 1904.

London. 1878. Pp.31. Quarto. 12.5 x8 inches (33 x 21 cm). Some foxing to cover

and into the interior, and toning to bottom left corner not into text. $100.00

In Jan. 1878 a fleet of American bankers arrived in Fortune Bay to engage in a

winter herring fishery. Rather than purchase bait by treaty right, the Americans

decided to catch herring themselves. Local fishers were dismayed at the prospect of

losing valuable winter income and feared that the Americans might sell bait to the

French as well. About two dozen American vessels, equipped with huge herring

seines of unusually small mesh size, began to sweep the bay at Long Harbour. On

Sunday the 6th of January an angry crowd began to gather on local beaches when it

became apparent that the Americans would not obey Newfoundland law. Members

of the crowd attacked some of the Americans, seized and destroyed their seines,

dumped about two thousand barrels of herring and drove the Americans away. The

imperial government later conceded that the Americans were indeed in violation of the Newfoundland law that

prohibited fishing on Sunday, seining in a closed season, and barring herring. These occurrences at Fortune Bay

(as it became known as) highlighted the displeasure the Americans had with the Halifax award (Halifax fisheries

commission 1877) and forced the British Government to state that the Americans must obey Newfoundland Law.

This document contains 21 papers concerning the occurrences and the final decision by the British Government

[Cadigan-His. of Nfld.].

Sir Thomas George Roddick (July 31, 1846 – February 20, 1923)

was a Canadian surgeon, medical administrator, and politician born in

Harbor Grace, Newfoundland. He attended the Model and Normal

Schools in Truro, Nova Scotia and graduated from the Medical Faculty

of McGill University in 1868 with the highest honours, winning the

Holmes Gold Medal and Final Prize. From 1868 to 1874, he was Assistant House Surgeon at the Montreal

General Hospital. In 1872, he was appointed Lecturer on Hygiene at McGill University. He was appointed a Demonstrator of Anatomy in 1874 and in 1875 was named Professor of Clinical Surgery. Earlier in 1877, Roddick

traveled to Edinburgh to witness Joseph Lister's medical antiseptic system. Roddick returned to Montreal later

that year and introduced Joseph Lister's antiseptic system, primarily his 'carbolic spray,' revolutionizing the way

medicine was practiced in Montreal's Hospitals. In 1894 Roddick, with the aid of fellow specialist James Bell,

created the Department of Surgery and became the first chief surgeon of the Royal Victoria Hospital. However,

by 1901 Roddick found himself no longer able to practice surgery, having become allergic to the new antiseptic

replacing the carbolic acid he had introduced to Montreal, iodoform. He was instead given the position of Dean

of the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University from 1901 to 1908, where he could contribute to medicine without

practicing surgery. In subsequent years Roddick would play an instrumental role in the creation of the Medical Council of Canada as well as establishing a common system of examinations for students graduating with medical

degrees in Canada.
