Halifax, Nova Scotia History, from 1749 to 1850.

Описание: This is a generally complete history of Halifax, from 1749 and the many attacks on the early city and Dartmouth, to its importance as a base for the Siege of Louisburg and Quebec. The Duke of Kent's improvements to the town and developments of the Royal Naval Dockyard led to its continued importance during the Napoleonic Wars and War of 1812. From the 1820s to 1750s, the town became an official city, and a major trade and financial center, as well as the first Nova Scotian brewery, by Alexander Keith.
