"The Chignecto Isthmus and Its First Settlers" by Howard Trueman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the early settlers of the Chignecto Isthmus, particularly the Yorkshiremen and their descendants, while exploring the rich history of the region and its genealogical connections among various families. The opening of the book begins with a preface outlining the author’s motivation to document the history of the Trueman
family and related families who settled in the old township of Cumberland. It emphasizes the importance of preserving local history for future generations. Trueman also gives a brief overview of the geographical significance and historical context of the Chignecto Isthmus, noting its role in early European settlement and the diverse cultural influences over the centuries, including the French and British. Notably, it sets the stage for the subsequent chapters, which delve into topics such as the New England and Yorkshire immigration, the Eddy Rebellion, and the establishment of early churches, of which the settlers were integral in developing their community.
