Joe Howe to the Rescue
Joe Howe to the Rescue weaves together the true story of Joe Howe's fight for freedom of the press with the exciting fictional story of his printer's boy.
Joseph Howe
Professor Beck shows how, in Churchillian fashion, the final resolution was preceded by a series of setbacks and disappointments in Howe's public life. These were the result of a bold colonization scheme encompassing an inter-colonial railway between Halifax and Quebec; a quixotic mission of recruitment in the United States for the British armies in the Crimea; the embattled leasdership of an unstable provincial administration in the early 1860s; and the hard-fought campaign to prevent passage of the British North America Act. Disillusioned by the indifference of British politician to his long-standing advocacy of a refurbished British Empire in whose government colonial leaders could share, Howe turned his energies to making the new Canadian federation work. A whole-hearted supporter of Confederation in his later years, Howe displayed an irrepressible vitality that Professor Beck sees as the trademark of the man.
Today's Joe Howe
The father of freedom of the press, a pioneer in the fight for responsible government, advocate for public education, groundbreaking journalist and honoured statesman – Joseph Howe has had a profound and lasting influence on Nova Scotia and, indeed, all of Canada. On the 200th anniversary of his birth, this unique book explores his ongoing legacy. Fiercely loyal to Nova Scotia, Howe was a romantic and a humanist, with a vision that's every bit as relevant today as it was in the 19th century.

Joseph Howe
For almost fifty years Joseph Howe was at the centre of public affairs, first in Nova Scotia and later in imperial relations and in the earliest years of the new Dominion. Drawing on a variety of records including Howe's private papers and the vigorous press of his day, J. Murray Beck places Howe firmly in the political, social, and intellectual life of colonial Nova Scotia and of British North America, assessing his contributions to those societies and revealing the breadth both of his vision and his influence. Joseph Howe is an epic scholarly account of the life of one of the towering figures of the fight for Responsible Government in the colonies that would come together to form the modern Canadian nation.
Joseph Howe: The Briton becomes Canadian, 1848-1873
In this concluding volume of the biography of the great Nova Scotia tribune, Joseph Howe extends his horizon well beyond his native province and in the climactic period of a tumultuous political career accepts the union of the British North American colonies and "becomes a Canadian."
Joe Howe's Ghost
Erin Curran is a rookie government Member of the Legislative Assembly when a startling encounter with the ghost of Joe Howe, Nova Scotia's most famous politician and journalist, changes the trajectory of her career and her life. Howe has been silently walking the halls of historic Province House for more than 150 years and Erin is the first living soul he has spoken to in all that time. At first, it is Erin who learns from Howe, the master politician and communicator, who brought responsible government to Nova Scotia, defended free speech and bitterly opposed Confederation. But as their friendship grows, Howe gains an appreciation of our times as Erin faces the trials of today's politics and the unique challenges facing female MLAs-from sexist colleagues to misogynist social media trolls. Joe Howe's Ghost is a reflection on Howe's tumultuous political era and of provincial politics today, and an exploration of the personal struggle between the desire for political power and upholding heartfelt personal convictions that are common to both.
