A mutiny, a ghost ship, a pioneer of women's' rights, a Confederate raider, a Mi'kmaq chief, and a wandering cow. What do all of these and many more tales have in common? They are all connected in one way or another to the old coal town of Cow Bay, now called Port Morien, on the east coast of Cape Breton Island. This book is a glimpse at life in the burgeoning 19th and early 20th century community, and the stories of some of the people who were there. It is a collection of some of the unique, the unusual, the uncommon Tales 'Round Old Cow Bay.
