Along the North Shore
A Social History of Township 11, P.E.I., 1765-1982
Volumes I and II
J. Clinton Morrison
To describe Along the North Shore as a major reference
work on Lot 11 would be a serious understatement.   This
two volume history of Lot 11 includes interviews with
residents, folklore, community histories (Conway, Foxley
River, Freeland, Inverness, Murray Road, and
Woodbrook), church histories (Freeland Presbyterian
Church, St. Peers Anglican Church, St. Brigid's Roman
Catholic Church, Conway United Church), family
genealogies, biographies of service men and a wealth of
other information.  

First published in 1984, Along the North Shore is now in
its third printing.  It is a timeless work and a necessary
read for anyone interested in Island history and genealogy.

"The history of Lot 11 is meant to be primarily a social one with emphasis upon people and their interaction
with one another and with their environment.  I have attempted to portray the simple lives and works of common
people over a period of several generations, thereby depicting the progress and accomplishments, with all their
heartache and joy, that have resulted from their labors . . . From generations of self-sacrifice and personal
hardship our forebears moulded the social values and personal traits which have been bequeathed to our
generation.  It is essential that their lives be remembered and their achievements emulated."
