Lunchtime Seminar: ‘The Irish soldier settlers of Nova Scotia, 1818-1838′
The topic of Irish soldier settlers in Nova Scotia between 1818 and 1838 is primarily the subject of academic research, notably by Dr. Michael Vance of Saint Mary’s University.
These soldiers, many from southern and western Ireland, were granted land as a way of settling in the colony after their military service.
