The writer also discusses some comparison with New Brunswick, NFLD and western provinces.

From the Paper:

"This paper reflects an interesting exercise in deducing changes in agriculture in what is now the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, from the mid-17th century establishment of a French settlement of Acadia that was annexed by the British in the later 18th century, on to the end of the 19th century. The approaches of Historical Geography allow understanding of longstanding patterns, and the importance of regional and local patterns of social, political, technological and market change, towards an ongoing place apart, in an unique Nova Scotia environment."
