Prominent People of the Maritime Provinces (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from Prominent People of the Maritime Provinces Public memories, sometimes, are short-lived, and history records only the names of those who stand out most prominently in the great events of the times. The aim of Prominent People is to create a lasting memorial not only for the great men, but also for those lesser personages in all walks of life who, by their toil and sacrifices, are laboring for the advancement of the Maritime Provinces, and are the real moulders of their destinies. The publica tion of such a work is especially appropriate at this time to commemorate the services rendered both at home and abroad by so many of our men and women during the recent Great War, in the interests of the Empire and the cause of democracy throughout the world.
This book is not designed as a work of praise, but of facts. One's educa tion, professional or business training and experiences and status in the com munity are facts which no man or woman should hesitate to see in print, and which the public have a right to know.
The book will have a value for the historian quite beyond its use as a current work of reference. It is hoped it will do its part in making all the sons and daughters of these three Provinces better known to each other, and will give a bird's-eye view of their usefulness and contribution to the confederated Provinces of the Dominion.
