A view from outside the gates of the Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery. @DeadInHalifaxFrom the steps of St. Paul’s Church in Halifax, a lady is egging on a group of worked-up soldiers. She’s offered to try on bathing suits for them from the shop across the street. The soldiers smash a window. Walking over glass, they begin looting the shop for every bathing suit they can find.
Craig Ferguson, author of Dead in Halifax, has resurrected notable to notorious Haligonians in an enchanting book that spins back the hands of the old town clock and hits stop at moments great and small.You’re walking through the parking lot of the Victoria General Hospital. It’s so crowded you can’t see the feet you’re stepping on. There’s scaffolding. A group of clergymen and an executioner are standing nearby.
Ferguson has now collected those tweets in a book that gives glimpses of lives spanning city blocks and decades in time. He has reached into the headstones’ dash between born and died, pulled out the spine of a book and put them into his own. Though incomplete, as acknowledged by Ferguson himself, it has allowed some characters to breathe again.
