Louisbourg Portraits

Each year, thousands of tourists flock to the Fortress of Louisbourg on the coast of Cape Breton Island to visit the reconstruction of part of the original eighteenth-century fort and town. Using the same records, diaries, letters, and charts that were used to recreate the site, Moore restores to vivid life five people who actually walked the streets of the colony over two hundred years ago. First published in 1982, this bestselling book of fascinating true stories represents what historian Desmond Morton calls "social history as it should be written."Moore, Christopher is the author of 'Louisbourg Portraits' with ISBN 9780771060915 and ISBN 0771060912.
