Published in 1734, William Bollan's "The Importance and Advantage of Cape Breton Truly Stated" is a fascinating account of the early history of this strategic Canadian island. Bollan argues that Cape Breton's location at the entrance to the Gulf of St. Lawrence makes it a key location for trade and military defense, and he provides a detailed description of its geography and resources.
