09a - The Boularderies of Little Bras d'Or

Although Antoine Le Poupet de La Boularderie and his father Louis-Simon have been designated Canadian Historic Persons - individuals who made significant contributions to the history of Canada - their story has only ever been partially told. Part of their story can be found on Cape Breton Island, another part in France, and still another part in the American State of South Carolina. Who were the Boularderies? How did they impact the early history of Cape Breton Island and Canada? And how is it that their story is so fragmented? In order to answer these questions, we will reassemble the family’s entire story for the first time.

SPECIAL THANKS to the Middlesex County Volunteers Fifes & Drums for giving us permission to use their song "Village Dance" in this episode.
