JOST, A.C. Guysborough Sketches and Essays. First Edition
Guysborough, 1950,
JOST, A.C. Guysborough Sketches and Essays. Guysborough, N.S.: [Privately Printed], 1950. Pp (2),414,(6). plates. 8vo, blue cloth. Rhodenizer p.563, Vaison p.65, NSIB 90. Includes several chapters of nautical interest. In "Piracy, Smuggling and Martingot" (pp. 92-97), the early reported cases of piracy in the region would cause one to wonder if any form of settlement or development could be safely conducted, when fishermen were randomly attacked on the open seas, suffering the loss of their catch, their vessels and often their lives. The numerous small coves and inlets along the coastline provided a secluded haven for prirates and smugglers exchanging cargoes of bread, corn, sugar and molasses for European wines, brandy, and fish ready for the market. Traffic in these stolen goods often proved difficult for the governments to control. "A Raid" (pp. 98-103) provides the 1776 account by John Paul Jones, Commander of the American ship Providence, and the attack heled near Canso, NS. Sixteen vessels in all were taken as prizes, in additi on to the ones destroyed and, in his words "The fishery at Canso and Madameis effectually destroyed.". In "Three Shipwrecks" (pp. 104-108), the loss of three vessels in a two year period along the rocky shoreline is discussed. The Freemason sank near White Haven in February, 1780, with only three survivors. Several months later in the fall of 1780, one Lieutenant Prentiss, bearing dispatches from Quebec to New York, was aboard a ship which ran aground off Port Hood while attempting to find a safer passage via the Strait of Canso. The third wreck, in December, 1781, was the Brittania, a small coaster skippered by Benjamin Marsden, who engaged in carrying trade between Halifax and other Nova Scotian ports. A lengthy description of the hardships he and his crew members endured after running aground near Canso is included New endpapers, cocked, name, else very good. 125.00

Jost reviews the significance of fisheriesto the area, including a shipwreck of a small French vessel off the Canso islands in which Missionary Father Lallemant and one other priest and eightsailors survived. Mr. Jost examines the role political conflict, most espe cially the Treaty of Utrecht and the Revolutionary War and their affect on the settlement of Canso. In the second part of the book J. A.
