Thisthesis is an historical geography of Cape Breton Island in the nineteenth century.It aims to provide a geographical synthesis of the Island over a hundred years, elucidating the changing relationship between the Island's population and their environment.The Island is considered as a region and the scale of enquiry is at the regional level.The patterns of population, settlement, economy, and society are identified, and the processes that created them are discussed.Finally, the wider relevance of the Cape Breton experience is suggested.Three distinct and largely separate patterns of settlement, economy, and society coexisted • in early nineteenth century Cape Breton: the old commercial staple trade of the cod fishery, semi-subsistent family-farms, and industrial coal mining.After the end of the French regime on the Island, British and Nova Scotian capital was invested in the inshore cod fishery, creating specialised fishing settlements, a fishing population, and an economy tied to distant, international markets.Superimposed upon this staple trade in the 1820 's was a fee-simple empire of family-farms.Agricultural changes in Western Scotland displaced thousands of people, many of whom fetched up on Cape Breton -among the cheapest of overseas destinations.By mid-century, these immigrants had occupied all the good land and considerable areas of poorer backland.After years Chapter 8. Rather than conclude the study with a crosssection of Cape Breton in 1891, Chapter 9 draws the various themes together, discusses their interrelations, and suggests some,possible connections between Cape Breton and
