Charles H. Read was born in Nova Scotia in 1918, but did not become seriously interested in photography until he became Professor Emeritus at the Carver College of Medicine at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. During the 1950's he traveled by car back and forth to his birthplace and took pictures of unfamiliar sites as well as some very familiar to outsiders in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. This volume contains images that were digitized and printed in this volume which takes us through these two Canadian Maritime Provinces.
