Baddeck, And That Sort of Thing is a travel journal written by Charles Dudley Warner, the American author who co-wrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today with Mark Twain.
In 1873, Joseph Twichell invited Warner to accompany him on a trip to Baddeck, Nova Scotia.
Warner subsequently wrote an account of this trip, which became Baddeck, And That Sort of Thing.
[1] The book helped launch Baddeck, and Cape Breton more broadly, as a tourist destination[2] and may have influenced Alexander Graham Bell's decision to build a home in Baddeck.
[1] While Warner's story may have had a positive impact on Cape Breton's economy, the story angered many Cape Bretoners for its portrayal of them as simple and backward.
