Rise Again! Book 2 The Story of Cape Breton Island: From 1900 to Today Book 2 of the first full-scale history of Cape Breton Island! THE STORY OF CAPE BRETON ISLAND continues with industrialization, as coal mines are consolidated and the steel plants rise, calling rural Cape Breton and immigrant Europe to the wage-paying Industrial East. Bob Morgan`s Rise Again! Book 2 takes you through Cape Breton`s critical role as supplier and soldier in two World Wars, the Mi`kmaw battle for cultural survival, and the preservation of Scottish, Acadian and Irish life in the ferment of immigration during the island`s Second Economic Boom. Never an easy economy, Cape Breton becomes a battleground for Labour`s Wars, while farmers, lumbermen and fishery workers struggle for subsistence in the face of the vagaries of world and of Central Canadian competition. Through it all, flames of independence and community activism keep a beleaguered island and its people both interesting and uniquely alive, and Cape Bretoners emerge as a distinct people whose music and literature entertain and inspire the wider world. Book 2 of Rise Again! can stand alone a rich and accessible book and it,s built to last. 288pages   .   $23.95   .   ISBN 978-1-895415-85-8   .   Breton Books
