Buried in the Woods: Sawmill Ghost Towns of Nova Scotia resurrects the story of now abandoned settlements hacked from the primal forest by timber barons. True to the book's title, most of Nova Scotia's deserted lumber towns are literally buried in the woods and forgotten. Mike Parker has painstakingly scoured archival and private photographic collections in his quest to breathe life into many of these lost communities. The graphic result is a mosaic of over two hundred images, supported by Mike's trademark relaxed writing style that is sure to entertain adventurous sleuths looking for on-site discoveries, armchair heritage buffs and historians in search of an informative read.

Born and raised in Bear River, Nova Scotia, Mike Parker has been called Nova Scotia's Storyteller, a reference to the diversity of themes covered in his many books of popular history. The best-selling author has been researching and writing about his native province for more than twenty years. This is his thirteenth book. Mike is affiliated with the Gorsebrook Research Institute for Atlantic Canada Studies at Saint Mary's University as a research associate. He is a graduate of Acadia University and a long-time resident of Dartmouth.
