Boy from Port Hood - The
Autobiography of John Francis "Lofty" MacMillan - Emery
Hyslop and Peter McGahan (1996).
"From the mines of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada to the union
offices of Ottawa, Canada, a record of the lifelong journey of John
Francis "Lofty" MacMillan touches on more than the varied experiences
of one man. His recollections reveal the richness of a Gaelic and
Catholic culture, and the steadfast efforts of Cape Breton miners to
seize the rights they had so long been denied. His journey reveals the
undramatic, but nonetheless intensely human manner in which thousands
of Canadians adjusted to the constraints of war and the opportunities
of peace. As a policeman on the beat in Saint John, New Brunswick, as a
municipal common councillor, and as an union organizer more comfortable
on the picket line than in the office, he vividly relates the realities
of Canadian social and economic life that have shaped our age." 192
pages 6 x9.
