More History with a Twist: True Stories from Mr. Nova Scotia Know-It-All by Bruce Nunn
From back page - "This varied collection of Nova Scotian stories is historical, at times hysterical - all true, and truly entertaining, hand-picked favourites from the Nova Scotia Know-It-All's eclectic collection. It ripples with the richness of the life and lives of our provincial past, with engaging twists of unexpected fact, unusual links, or unexpected historical connections that Nova Scotians have come to expect from this unique storyteller."
Witness adventure on the high seas, daring rescues, ground-breaking discoveries, unexpected oddities - all the way from Nova Scotia to war-torn Europe, the lights of New York, the vast ocean, the glitter of Hollywood, and all points in between.
Meet the celebrities, the scientists, the heroes, the inventors, and folks whose lives took a captivating turn.
Funny, factual, fascinating: a fine humour-history blend.
A variety of Nova Scotian firsts, bests, greatests, and the stories behind them.
Dramatic, nostalgic, funny, exciting, tragic, touching, intriguing, and in some cases . . . bizarre.
