PUBLISHED BY ATLEE'S DRUG AND STATIONERY STORE ANNAPOLIS, N.S. 4- ■ 1- f '<3 ~> c Mllil'.AV I'HlNTlNd rOJIPAN'V TOUONTO //^ SOUVENIR ALBUM OF ANNAPOLIS AND DIGBY, NOVA SCOTIA OVA SCOTIA has, within a few years, become the Mecca for tourists. While our scenery is the game ibr tlie greater part as nature made it, still our fair province was formerly unknown to those who lived beyond its borders. Englishmen, Europeans and Americans, in time, learned that we, in this province, had a valley more fertile than the green vales beside the Hudson or the seiiuestered nooks of the Rhine. One told the other of our lovely scenery, even climate and level vales, and conse- (|Hently, us if by magic, our towns and country villages teem with the foreign sight-seer. Nova Scotia's fume as the buttle ground, iu the seventeenth century, of the contests between English and French, natives and Indians, has been one of the strongest factors iu tempting the tourist to behold the hallowed spots. The history of Grand Pre, immortali/.ed by Longfellow ; and Annapolis Royal, the ancient capital, is the history of North America for nearly a century. The latter, formerly known as Port Royal, is, with the exception of St. Augustine in Florida, the oldest town in North America. Founded in 1G04 by DeMonts, to be forsaken the .same year, only to be re-occupied 3 in the following year. The natal day of Annapolis Koyal his always been a matter of dispute ; it was never known until the spring of 18!)7 that on the afternoon of June 10t!i. 1(;04. DeMonts left what is now known as Digby for a sail up the beautiful Annapolis Kiver. On the morning of the 17th, he and his party lanJed and at once made preparations for the building of a fort. In July, 1806, Lescarbot and a compauy of French- men Joined the new settlement and aided much in the improvement of the land. Poutrincourt was in command of the e.xpedition, and great was the delight when I'ort Royal was reached. There were only two Frenchmen at the fort, LaTaille and Miqucllet, who explained that the others, a few days previously, had set sail for France. At once preparations were made to improve the condition of things by clearing away the land and making ready for tlie next spring. Tiie winter was spent by instituting " I'Ordre de Bon Temps," or the order of the good time, and Lescarbot proved himself the life of the colony. It might not be out of i)lace to explain that the fort stood on the north side of the river near the present (ioat Island, on the Granville side. The brave and accomplished Baron de Poutrincourt left his estates in France on February 2Cth. 1010, and sailed for Port Royal. He was a zealous and ardent Christian, and did much ou his arrival to aid in the conversion of the Indian. In Kil.S Captain Argall, with a company of Virginians, sailed for Nova Scotia and completely demolished the colony. Between 1(!20 and 1030 a number of Scotchmen came to Port Royal and settled, but were soon driven out by the French. In 1628 Sir David Kirk, with a tleet from England, defeated the French and left the town in ruins. In l(i;54 it was granted, by the French government, to Claude de Razilly, a dashing officer, who had with him Charnisay and Charles de la Tour. No trouble ensued to the colony until U)54, when an English tleet crossed the ocean, but did not disturb the people. In 1090 Sir William Phipps brought it com[)letely under British sway. Only one year passed when France agair. called Port Royal a possession. In 1707 it was attacked and besieged by a force from Boston, but the Frenchmen drove the enemy back. Three years later General Nicholson, with four frigates and twenty transports, left Boston and sailed for Port Royal. Subercase was then governor, but he was unable to resist and surrendered his forces. General Nicholson changed the name to Aimapolis Royal, in honor of Queen Aune, then ((ueen of (ireat B itain. In the following year a battle took place at Bloody Creek, near Bridgetown, when eighty New Ei glanders were killed by the French-Acadians and Micmacs. The fort was besieged in 1722, 1743 and 1740, but without success. During the War of the Revolution, Annapolis was taken by an American privateer, and in 1090 was partially burned by two pirate ships. In 4 all, Annapolis lloyul lias stood tliirteen Hciges— a record not tM|u;illfd by any town on the continent. In the year 1713, by the Treaty of Utreelit, Nova Scotia was fonnally ceded to CJnat Biitain. In new countries there is not the same regard for liistorieal records as in older ones. In the United States anit flslilnfj;. A canot^ put in the laki^ at Thonuis' Hotel will ciirry a lishcrmau over sixty miles of streams and lakes, until the Atlantic Ocean is reached at liiverpool. To Bear Iliver, eighteen miles. A village sheltered in the hills, and noted for its abundance of cherries in the month of July. To Vi'jloria Beach and Bay of Fundy. Crossing the river by steam ferry at Annapolis, and driving west along the river, the situ of an old fort is !)assed at Qoat Island, and at the lishing village of Victoria Beach will be seen the rushuig tide. It rises and falls twenty-five feet every twelve hours, as it goes in and out the narrow entrance of the hay of Finidy. Starting agaiu from the ferry it Granville, and crossing the North Mountain to the shore of the Bay of Fundy is Oiie of the linest and most picturesque drives in the provin(!e. From the top of the mountain, H an elevation of 400 feet, the New Brunswick shore, fllly-tive miles away, can readily be seen. Following the Buy Shore a few miles, the road turns back over the Young's Mountain road, with a very pretty lake on the summit, and coming down into the Aniiapolis Valley is a panoramic view of over lifty miles. The grand stretch of waterway, and the farms and extensive meadows in the vallty, forms a most charming picture, enhanced by the bree/e that followf the Howing tides and an atmospl ere clear, pure and serene. Tne months of May, .June. August and September bring many a follower of Isaac Walton to Annapolis. A drive of fourteen miles finds the Yankee sportsman at Milford, where he has the best fishing grounds in the maritime provinces. To catch a trout weighing from one to four poundf* is a common occurrence, and our American cousins, aftsr a good catch, have always a good word to say for our fishing facilities. Digby has gained for itself the enviable name of the Bar Harbor of Nova Scotia. Beautifully situated at the foot of the AnimpcliH Biifin, with the North and South MouiitaiiiM loomhig up ia the distance, it it* just the spot where the uiurist loves to dwell. Its boaiiiiK' and 4»aliiiiig ■acilltieM idd a great doal to the attraei- iveiieHs of this quaint little town. Its drives are eiglit in number: To Hear River, a distance of about nix inileH; to 'nemeatHport, thirteen raileH ; to Digby Neck, where oae can go from twenty to forty miles; to Weymouth, about twenty milex ; to Hartcm, nine miles; to Acacia Valley, south four miles; to Cu'.loden, across the North Mountain, seven niiks, and .i short drive of live miles to Point I'rim. Tl-.e fame of Digby and Bear lliver for their beautiful cherries is not bound by the province. The first week in July sees the trees full of that hi.sciouH fruit, and, ere three weeks have passed, not a cherry is to be <" und. The deep-sea lishing at Digby is a sport that shoulil not be missf 1 by the sight-seer and sportsman. A few minutes' row brings one where the cod and haddock vie with ona another in biting the tempting hook of th ; angler. To eonu! to the province and miss staying a few days at I)igl)y is to allow slip by "a chance a nan sees but on(c in all his time." Country board and summer hotels, names of houses and situations, and a ly other information Mill be given by Mk. A. E. Avi.kk, Annapolis, who \AU be pleased to auswer any conc-& uudence.
