BOOK - The Early History of the Catholic Church in Prince Edward Island
By John C. MacMillan
Originally published by L'Evénement Printing Co., Quebec, 1905
This edition by Global Heritage Press, Milton, 2007
The Early History of the Catholic Church in Prince Edward Island provides an insider's account of the early Catholic Church in Prince Edward Island, Canada. However, the book also serves a wider audience -- those with an interest in P.E.I. settlement history. The first seven chapters deal primarily with discovery, settlement, population increases, war, inbound migration, land division, Highland immigration, etc.. The remaining chapters focus on people and events as they relate to the establishment and development of Catholic Church in Prince Edward Island.
The author, Rev. John C. MacMillan, assembled this work while serving as Pastor of All Saints Church in Cardigan Bridge, Prince Edwand Island. His busy schedule, combined with the challenge of finding few surviving documents, did not discourage Rev. MacMillan. From the earliest European settlement of the island up to the beginning of the twentieth century (1905), MacMillan's history provides a glimpse into lives of the early inhabitants and their descendants, and into the role of the Catholic Church in the history of Prince Edward Island. The following list of contents reveals the rich selection of topics covered in this fine work.
