Excerpt from History of Nova Scotia, Vol. 3: Biographical Sketches of Representitive Citizens and Genealogical Records of the Old Families There is a proverb that truth is stranger than fiction; and truth of the nature embraced in this volume has not only the attraction of strangeness and novelty, but the main reason for its existence in this form and promulgation, lies in the evidence of great pains having been taken to go back of ordinary modern expression of judgment and opinions, deducted from alleged circumstances, to original sources of information, in the way of names, dates, or circumstances; but to show on the face of the material, that facts have been substantiated to the best degree of accuracy, and nothing accepted on probabilities or suppositions. Dr. David Allison, author of the first two volumes of this work, had no part in the preparation of this volume, the biographical sketches having been written by Clyde Edwin Tuck, from data fur nished by the various families represented herein. Every sketch in this work was submitted to the party interested, for correction, and therefore any error of fact, if there be any, is due to the person for whom the sketch was prepared. The publishers desire to extend their thanks to the citizens of Nova Scotia for the uniform kindness with which they have regarded this undertaking, and for their many services rendered in obtaining the necessary information.
