"When the first edition of this book was published in 1992 what passed for history were the works of Caucasians that generally painted their ancestors as saints and the ancestors of the Mi'Kmaw barbarians. To counter this says, the author, was rather easy. He simply used the records left behind by the Europeans to relay a clear picture of how history really transpired. This fourth edition brings the story of the struggles and the victories of the 15 years since the last edition up to date."--
