Bear Island: More Than An Island
Written by Patty Gunter Trail
In an excerpt from the book's introduction, Patty Gunter Trail writes, "as we grow older, many of us search for our roots, trying more perfectly to identify how we became the people we are. That partly explains why I began researching the history of Bear Island. With the construction of the Mactaquac Dam and the subsequent flooding of the islands and large pieces of the mainland in Bear Island, I felt that it was important to retain the stories of life in this rural community before they were forgotten forever".
