"This is the story of the legendary Joe Howe who fought fiercely for the rights of the poor and oppressed... and before he had finished, laid the foundations for modern Nova Scotia.

Howe began his career in the 1820s as a crusading young Halifax newspaper editor. Fearlessly pitting himself against corruption and injustice -- both rife in the colonial aristocracy of the 1800s -- young Howe stirred furious controversy and was swiftly charged with libel. But he undertook his own defence and with a fiery speech in the courtroom exposed the dishonest city magistrates and became a champion and hero to the ordinary people for whom he fought.

Elected to political office by his grateful supporters, Howe became Nova Scotia's most beloved statesman, a man who challenged the establishment whenever he saw the interests of the common people threatened. As such, the story of Joe Howe is also the story of the people of Nova Scotia, whose loyalty and support stayed with him throughout his stormy and distinguished career.

Colourful, spirited, and courageous, Joe Howe stands tall as a man of the people, a hero for all Canadians, in this fascinating biography which will appeal to readers both young and old. "
