Colonial administrator and diarist John Salusbury (1707-1762) was a witness to the imperial chess game played by Britain and France for control of the New World. A founder of the city of Halifax, he kept a diary while in Nova Scotia, capturing valuable first-hand information about the struggles faced by settlers caught between the disputed borders of English and French North America.
