100 Things You Don’t<br />
Know About Nova<br />
Scotia<br />
Sarah Sawler<br />
Entertaining Nova Scotia factoids based on<br />
popular Halifax Magazine column<br />
Did you know that the Halifax–Dartmouth ferry was once<br />
operated by a team of nine horses? Or that Babe Ruth used to<br />
visit Yarmouth regularly for hunting and fishing vacations? Enter<br />
journalist Sarah Sawler: your guide to discovering 100 fascinating<br />
things you don’t know about Nova Scotia—from robberies and<br />
murders to famous landmarks, events, and people.<br />
Inspired by the success of her popular Halifax Magazine<br />
column “50 Things You Don’t Know about Halifax,” Sawler has<br />
expanded her focus to include interesting anecdotes and facts<br />
about the social, political, economic, and cultural history of the<br />
entire province. Arranged in chronological order, each “thing” is<br />
accompanied by a contextual write-up explaining its historical<br />
significance. Includes 25 black and white photos.<br />
Sarah Sawler is a freelance writer and journalist whose work has<br />
appeared in such publications as Quill & Quire, Halifax Magazine,<br />
the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, and Atlantic Business Magazine. In<br />
2014 she was accepted into the prestigious Humber School for<br />
Writers for a postgraduate certificate program in creative writing,<br />
having previously earned a Bachelor of Arts from Mount Saint<br />
Vincent University. She lives in Halifax with her two children and<br />
