The Miramichi

THIS IS A DRAFT
The scanning of the text is complete. We are still looking for more pictures. If you can supply pictures or wish to report errors in the text, please e-mail the editor.

Note to the 2005 Electronic Edition

In preparing this electronic edition we have modified the text's format as required for presentation in this medium. We have corrected a few typographical errors in the original but have not updated the text to take account of events that have occurred since initial publication. We have added some additional pictures.

Thanks to Joan MacKenzie for some historical photographs and for encouragement and moral support.
