This is a description of the changes in a rural community in Cape Breton, Canada over fifty years. John Bonner and his family have lived there for about three months every summer and have seen all the changes that have taken place from the methods of farming, the schools, women's fashions, medical care, the roads, the wild life, the salmon fishing and much more. It is full of anecdotes illuminating what wonderful people Cape Bretoners are and one thing that has not changed is their virtues.
