Nova Scotia Farmland 1829

by Thomas Chandler Haliburton

An Excerpt From –

An Historical and Statistical Account of Nova Scotia

Pub 1829

…the arable lands bear as yet a small proportion to the wilderness
parts of the country; and these, as in all other places in America, are
chiefly confined to the neighbourhood of the rivers, harbours, and coasts,
though small scattered settlements are to be found in the interior, where
the lands are of sufficient to invite cultivation. But the appearance
of the old townships will vie with any part of America for beauty. The
extended and well cultivated valley of the Annapolis River, the diversified
and picturesque country of Horton and Cornwallis; the richness, extent,
and variety, of the views in the vicinity of Windsor…cannot fail to
excite the wonder of strangers, that they exist is a country which has
always been represented as the most uninteresting part of America…
