More Details on the book
In 1937 the Biographical Society of Canada published "Prominent
People of New Brunswick".
The preface of the book states: "It is now 37 years since "Jack's
Dictionary
of New Brunswick Biography" appeared as one of several volumes,
comprehending
the whole of Canada. Since that day, however, many have risen to
prominence
in our provincial life. It is for this reason that a need has been felt
for
some time for a current reference book in which the names of those of
some
distinction in our community be recorded."
There are six categories of prominent people. People living in New
Brunswick
is the largest section. The other categories are: New
Brunswickers
living outside the province; People of the past; Educators and
educationalists;
Clergymen; and Women of New Brunswick.
