Backyard History
Backyard History is an Atlantic Canadian history project that is published in 12 regional newspapers,[1] a television show,[2] a podcast and has published three non-fiction books of local history.[3][4][5] Regional tourism has also relied on its write-ups.[6]
The primary author of the series is the historian Andrew Maclean,[7][8] and one of the first stories he researched was of "Old Ned", the sea serpent periodically seen in Lake Utopia until its bombardment during World War II training.[9]
Development
[edit]The Backyard History podcast started during the Covid-19 Pandemic,[10] and several of its more popular segments then gathered for the first book "Backyard History: Forgotten Stories From Atlantic Canada's Past".[10]
In October 2024, a television show entitled Backyard History also launched on Bell Fibe.[10]
