Summary "History of New Brunswick" by Peter Fisher is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work focuses on the settlement and development of New Brunswick, particularly emphasizing the experiences and challenges faced by Loyalists who established themselves in this region after the American Revolution. Through historical context and detailed descriptions, the book seeks to provide readers with insights into the province's early societal, agricultural, and political landscapes. The opening of the text provides an introduction to the early history of New Brunswick, including its establishment as a separate province from Nova Scotia in 1783. It highlights the Loyalist immigration, detailing the hardships encountered by the early settlers, such as severe weather conditions, food shortages, and the struggles of adapting to a new and rugged land. Fisher outlines the social fabric of the area, mentioning various groups, including the Acadians and Indigenous peoples, and provides a sense of the historical significance of the Loyalists' sacrifices. The beginning sets the stage for understanding New Brunswick's formative years, delineating the key events and personalities involved in its early governance and development.
