Title: History and Stories of Springville Pictou County, Nova Scotia

Authors: Frank W. Calder

Publication Date: 1992

Description: Frank Calder who grew up in Springville, provides an extensive history with interesting stories dating back to 1780 when the area was settled mostly by immigrants from Scotland, seeking a better life as Scottish lairds abandoned most of their people following the battle of Culloden. His hope when writing this book was that some of the historic information about Springville could be gathered together in one place and hopefully preserved for others to read and learn from in the future.

History Books like this help one realize how hard things once were and gain some respect for the ways people lived in the past and the importance of preserving their stories. If you are from the Springville and surrounding areas, or was simply just a little curious about the geography and history of Springville, then we suggest you give this little book a read.
