NewBrunswick was one of the four original provinces of Canada formed with Confederation in 1867.
Following Confederation, NewBrunswick suffered the effects of an economic downturn precipitated by the Great Fire of 1877 in Saint John and the decline of the sailing shipbuilding industry, and compounded by the global recession sparked by the Panic of 1893.
The St. John in its upper reaches is slim and graceful, a delicate band through fields and forests, and it looks quiet until you come to Grand Falls where suddenly you see the power of it.
One of the beauties of the St. John at the moment is that few American small-boat owners seem to know about it; if they did the stream would be crowded with craft from half the Eastern States, for there is no river on the continent more suited to pleasure boats than this.
Canada is moving into the lower St. John, just as French Canadians have been steadily moving into the upper reaches of the river, and the power techniques of modern Canada are producing electrical energy from the stream sufficient for dozens of factories.
