Hope Restored: The American Revolution and the Founding of New Brunswick by Robert L. Dallison - $16 (taxes included)
"In April, 1775, the first shots of the American Revolutionary War were fired. They reverberated in what later became New Brunswick, when recent immigrants from New England rose in rebellion. The British moved quickly to crush these rebels, and after the war they made the new frontier with the United States secure by settling Loyalist regiments throughout the area. The result of this wave of British American settlers was the establishment of New Brunswick as a separate colony in 1784.
The motto of the Loyalist, Spem reduxit - Latin for "hope restored" - became the motto of the province they founded. Hope Restored tells the story of the Loyalist regiment that settled New Brunswick, describing their Revolutionary War exploits, the colorful and influential people who came with them to New Brunswick, and the part of their legacy that can be seen today."
Captured Hearts: New Brunswick's War Brides by Melynda Jarratt - $18 (taxes included)
"Imagine you're a young woman caught up in the ugly reality of war. You meet and fall in love with a young soldier from a foreign country. You marry and your world is upended: when the war ends, you leave all you've ever known behind - your family, friends, and way of life - to begin a new life in Canada.
This is the story of hundreds of women who made their way to New Brunswick at the end of the Second World War. Between 1942 and 1948, young women from all over Europe came to this part of Canada with their servicemen husbands. Some married Aboriginal New Brunswickers; others married French-speaking Acadians; still others married New Brunswickers of British descent. In these rivetting accounts, wives, widows, fiancées, and those whose marriages failed and returned to Europe tell compelling stories of prejudice, perseverance, kindness, hope, defeat, and triumph."
