“The Rooster Crows at Dawn: My Eighty Years in the Nova Scotia Village of Blandford”

By: Lee Zinck

Lee Zinck was born in 1907 in Blandford, one of Nova Scotia’s most charming seaside villages. His varied career touched on virtually every one of Nova Scotia’s main industries. He has been, among other things, a fisherman, farmer, lumberjack and stevedore. He faithfully chronicles the story of lice-infested lumber camps, the dangerous life of the fisherman, the political patronage, the poverty of the depression and the joys and sorrows of living through three generations in this community. Both entertaining reading and a political, economic and sociological study of a small settlement, this book is a treasure which has universal appeal.       

The book is a softcover, measuring about 6 x 9 inches. It was published by the Blandford & Area Historical Socieity in 2000. It is 136 pages long, with a selection of photographs & illustrations. Book is used, but in very good condition - no writing, no stains or soiling, clean cover & tight spine. Top bidder should add $7.99 for postage within Canada, or $15.99 for mailing to the USA. I have other, similar books up for sale now, so please check them out too! Multiple books always combined to save on postage, & full refund if you’re not happy. Thanks for looking!
