Where They Rest in Peace

Walking through a cemetery, one can't help but wonder about the stories behind the names and dates on the headstones. Who were these people? What sort of lives did they lead? In Where They Rest in Peace, amateur historian Maynard Stevens addresses this curiosity with a walking guide of seven historic cemeteries in Kings County, Nova Scotia. Focusing his investigation on people born in the 1700s, Stevens' discussion of cemeteries in Hortonville, Wolfville, Kentville, Chipman's Corner, Upper Canard, Lower Church Street and Starr's Point includes biographical information on many of the New England Planters and United Empire Loyalists who settled in the Annapolis Valley.Stevens, Maynard is the author of 'Where They Rest in Peace', published 2000 under ISBN 9781894031417 and ISBN 1894031415.
