The history of Melville Island and the military prison there on Halifax's Northwest Arm spans the Napoleonic Wars, the War of 1812, and World War One.
"Today, Deadman's Island on Halifax's Northwest Arm is a peaceful waterside park and nearby Melville Island a bustling modern yacht club. The often violent and unhappy historical uses of these locations over the past 200 years was one of Halifax's best kept secrets. Iris Shea and Heather Watts have uncovered the stories of hundreds of prisoners of war, refugees and fever victims who were once unwilling residents of Melville Island's prison. Some of them were buried under the pines of Deadman's Island. In this abundantly illustrated book you will see the prison buildings of the past and hear from the ghosts of Deadman's Island in their own words." - from the rear cover.
