     Source Notes for Chapter Two 
     
    
   
   
    
     Many of the facts in this chapter are taken from 
     
     the Journals of the Prince Edward Island Legislative 
     
     Assembly for the year in question. These Journals are full 
     
     of fascinating information for those who wish a close-up 
     
     look at Island history while it was being made. 
     
    
   
   
    
     For the life and work of Father Belcourt, the 1955 
     
     biography, George Anthony Belcourt: His Life and Times by 
     
     James Michael Reardon, RA. (North Central Publishing 
     
     Company, St. Paul, Minnesota), summarizes much 
     
    
   
   
    
     information not easily to be found elsewhere or in 
     
     English. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Myricks of Tignish (1853-1969) by Carolyn E. 
     
     Myrick (published by the author in 1995) is a history of 
     
     the family, rather than of their business, but those who 
     
    
   
   
    
     search carefully will find much useful information 
     
     scattered about in it. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Georges Arsenault’s book The Island Acadians is 
     
     again useful for the material on the fishing industry, and 
     
     the ”Acadian Renaissance.” Cécile Gallant’s Le Mouvement 
     
     Coopératifchez les Acadiens de la Region Evangeline (1862-1982) 
     
     (Le Conseil Coopératif de l’Ile—du—Prince—Edouard, 1982) 
     
     contains information about the ”graineries”, the cheese 
     
     factories, and the Farmers’ Bank which is not available 
     
     elsewhere in book form. A history of the co-operative 
     
     movement on Prince Edward Island is expected to be 
     
     published shortly, and will make this information, and 
     
     much more, available in English.
