Few places have been described with as much quiet devotion as John M. Gow brought to Cape Breton Island when he sat down to write about it in 1893.
This restored edition presents Attractions of Cape Breton for Tourists, the chapter at the heart of Gow's Cape Breton Illustrated: Historic, Picturesque and Descriptive.
Written at a moment when the island was just beginning to reveal itself to outside visitors, Gow's words carry listeners through landscapes and communities that will feel instantly familiar to those with Cape Breton roots and utterly compelling to those discovering the island for the first time.
Gow writes with genuine passion for Cape Breton's natural beauty, its coastlines, highlands, and waterways, and with a quiet conviction that the island deserved far greater recognition than it had received from the wider country. That feeling of an island whose gifts have never quite received their due comes through at every moment.
Carefully edited and introduced by J. R. Bourgeois, this edition preserves the original 1893 text in full, bringing one of Cape Breton's earliest travel narratives back to life for a new generation of listeners.
