Welcome to Fadedpage.com!
Faded Page is an archive of eBooks that are provided completely free to everyone. The books are produced by volunteers all over the world, and we believe they are amongst the highest quality eBooks anywhere. Every one has been scanned, run through OCR software, proofed, formatted and assembled extremely carefully, using hundreds of volunteer hours. These books are public domain in Canada (because we follow the Canadian copyright laws), but if you are in another country, you should satisfy yourself that you are not breaking the copyright laws of your own country by downloading them. You are free to do whatever you like with these books, but we hope that mainly...you will enjoy reading them.

This is another of our continuing special series of texts covering the ten provinces and three territories of Canada. Today we’re looking into Nova Scotia.
Nova Scotia is south of New Brunswick and part of the Maritimes. It is a great province of scenery, history, fishing and seafood.
For scenery and history, we have a travel eBook called Cape Breton Highlands National Park--where the mountains meet the sea. Cape Breton is in the northeastern corner of Nova Scotia and is well known for the beautiful Cabot Trail scenery and Alexander Graham Bell’s summer home, Beinn Bhreagh, where he worked on numerous inventions.
There are a number of historical eBooks, of which just a couple include The Great Fortress: A Chronicle of Louisbourg 1720-1760 and Old Province Tales.
If you like what we do here on Faded Page and want to help us add even more public domain books to the site, come join us and proofread a few pages. For more information about how to volunteer, check out our companion site, Distributed Proofreaders Canada.
