In this gripping episode, we explore one of Prince Edward Island’s darkest and most hidden historical events — the Belfast Riot of 1847. Host David Cyrus MacDonald is joined by Calum Beck, author of The Belfast Riot of 1847, for a deep dive into the legacy of violence, power struggles, and the land conflicts that shaped PEI’s history.

Imagine a clash so brutal it ended in bloodshed, dividing communities for generations. Back in 1847, factions fought to the death with lumber and fence posts over the appointment of a land agent for Scottish Lord Selkirk — a man who owned over 100,000 acres of PEI. The riot claimed lives, caused lasting trauma, and created a ripple effect that’s still felt in Island memory today.

Calum Beck uncovers the full story, bringing forward a buried chapter of Island history — one that’s both shocking and essential to understanding how PEI developed into the community it is today.
