One of the places I visited quite often was Prince Edward Island, Canada. Prince Edward Island is the smallest Province in the Confederation. Most Americans never heard of it. This is the place where the Confederation of Canada was formed.
The building where these historic events took place is still standing and is in use on a daily basis.
When we were there I timed our visit so our guide was a Parks Canada Officer. He was born and raised on the Island just a short distance from The Confederation House. He was a wealth of information because of his back round.
The tour started in a small auditorium where we were shown a 12 minuet slide show. The earliest scenes were depicted in pen and ink drawings (cameras were not in use yet). One slide, showed 2 armies attacking each other. One of the Militiamen carried a banner on a staff which said “IRA”. This was hundreds of years before The present IRA was in the news and I questioned the Officer if there was any connection between the group in the slide and the present day group? He was not sure, but suggested I research the Phinian Revolt. Phinia was the Goddess of War. He told me it was a group of Irish that attacked Canada to try to force England to free the surfs in Ireland and allow them to own land. (Irish Potato Famine)
I won’t tell you the rest of this obscure story because it is part of our job to do research. The Internet 10 years ago was not what it is today. (No Goggle) The Information might be read ly available now. I searched for 6 months and could find no information on the subject. Finally, a local librarian less the a mile from my house found a book for me. I can’t give you the name of the book because honestly do not remember it.
