Author: William Albert Trueman
In ‘Round A Chignecto Hearth, William A. Trueman recalls the heritage of a small Maritime community. His candid storytelling clearly displays a deep respect of his fellow man; a fundamental value nurtured by home and community. Even though the way of life portrayed in this book has long disappeared the values fostered by these people of long ago still live on. The author’s observations of human activity and recording of historical events help bring an understanding of the influences that have shaped rural communities. Such an understanding enriches present day readers and encourages reflection upon historical roots.
