NEW BRUNSWICK: A HISTORY 1784-1867. MacNutt, W.S. Toronto, MacMillan, c1983, 1984. 496pp, paper, $12.95, ISBN 0.7715-9818-1. CIP Grades 10 and up Reviewed by Catherine R. Cox Volume 13 Number 1 1985 January The New Brunswick Bicentennial Commission should be commended for assisting in the publication of this reprint of W.S. MacNutt's history of New Brunswick. The late W.S. MacNutt was a highly respected professor at the University of New Brunswick when he first published this definitive history of the first hundred years of the province in 1963. It deals with the pre-Loyalist settlers, the arrival of the Loyalists and the founding of the province as a British colony distinct from Nova Scotia, and events leading up to Confederation in 1867. At the time of its first publication, MacNutt's book filled a great need for a good general history of New Brunswick. It remains the best work on the era. What is needed is a history of New Brunswick from 1867 to the present day. Recommended. Catherine R. Cox, Moncton H.S., Moncton, N.B.
