This interview with local historian Harold Wright deals with the military history of Partridge Island and the other sites around Saint John. Harold offers insights and humour as he shares about the establishment of a military defense in the 1790s, the War of 1812, and the wars in the 20th century.

New Brunswick is often referred to as the "drive through" province, but that is changing. Our population continues to grow and more and more, individuals are making this a destination place, having discovered the natural wonders and fantastic tourist attractions that await. I am the NB Traveler focusing on upcoming events, information about natural and historical wonders, the journeys of past travelers, and even an occasional ghost story. It's the place for NB travelers and resident to learn and share! Because I live in Saint John, the focus is often on the southern part of the province.
