| Commentaires : | The map was bought for $20.00 CD at an estate sale in Souris, PEI. It would have once been used in one of the Island's one room school houses. The surveyor, Captain Bayfield, spent most of his career surveying the Great Lakes and other water areas around Quebec and Ontario, but in 1941 he moved his headquarters to Charlottetown, PEI. After this move he concentrated his efforts on PEI and Nova Scotia for the next 15 years. He retired from surveying in 1856, eventually became an Admiral in 1867, and continued to live in Charlottetown until his death in 1885. |
