Description

This book tells the story of an extraordinary family of merchants and entrepreneurs. Through this family history, author James Frost sheds new light on many aspects of Nova Scotia’s business and political history. The story of the Stairs family — their readiness to accept risk, their commitment to industrial development, their interest in manufacturing — challenges many of the stereotypes often used to explain Nova Scotia’s economic decline after Confederation.
