Description

Jonathan Gillis MacKinnon (1869-
1944) has, of all Canadians, made the
most important contribution in the field
of Celtic Studies in North America. As
newspaper editor, historian, genealogist,
bard, and translator, his work represents
many themes in Canadian minoritylanguage
literature.
The following description of his first
visit to Prince Edward Island appeared in
Gaelic in MacTalla, from 3 October 1896
to 16 January 1897. (MacKinnon edited
and published MacTalla in Sydney,
Cape Breton, from 1892 to 1904 -
which makes it, astonishingly, the
longest-running Gaelic newspaper in the
world to date.)
