In our first episode, we introduce the Lost World of Cape Breton project. We also follow John Montresor, an engineer in the British army, overland from Louisbourg to the shores of the Bras d’Or Lakes as he embarks on an “inland scout” in the months following the fall of Cape Breton Island to the British.Read the Montresor Journals - https://archive.org/details/montresorjourna00montgoog/page/n4/mode/2upSHOW NOTES: MUSICAL CREDITS: -- Les Habitants - En Roulant La Bouteille SOURCES: 1.
