    The Belfast Riot of 1847: Bloodshed, Land, and Legacy in PEI – with Author Callum Beck

    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. 📌 Host: David Cyrus MacDonald, REALTOR® w/ RE/MAX Charlottetown 📞 902.940.5455 📧 cyrusmacd@gmail.com 🌐 www.davidcyrusmacdonald.com 📌 Guest: Calum Beck | Author of The Belfast Riot of 1847 Calum shares insights on: ✔️ The roots of the Belfast Riot and its political backdrop ✔️ The powerful role of land agents and absentee landlords ✔️ William Douse’s controversial legacy ✔️ How these events shaped PEI’s land ownership, governance, and social fabric 🎧 Listen now for a powerful journey into PEI’s past — a must-hear for history buffs, Islanders, and anyone curious about how land, power, and people collided in 1847. 📍 Check out David Cyrus MacDonald Real Estate’s Google Profile and reviews: 🔗 https://g.co/kgs/ghBYvL2 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more local stories that matter. #BelfastRiot1847 #PEIHistory #CalumBeck #RealPEIPodcast #PrinceEdwardIsland #CanadianHistory #DavidCyrusMacDonald #REMAXCharlottetown #IslandStories

Read What Clients Say About Working with Me: Google reviews: https://g.page/r/CWNABkqI-ojREBM When I got a call from Shane MacDonald a few months back, I wasn’t just reconnecting with an old friend—I was about to learn about an ambitious project that combines high-quality construction with unmatched affordability. Shane’s passion for creating homes that Islanders can be proud to own was immediately clear. This isn’t about maximizing profit but building efficient, thoughtfully designed houses that provide value, comfort, and long-term savings for PEI families. These new builds stand out in today’s market. Located on nearly a full acre with scenic countryside views, just a short drive from both Montague and Charlottetown, they feature: Energy Efficiency:  Designed for low utility costs, making ownership more affordable than renting for many buyers. High-Quality Finishes:  Including Seagull Kitchen cabinetry, a metal roof, and a 10-year structural warranty plus a 1-year comprehensive builder’s warranty. Great Layout:  Two spacious bedrooms, detached single-family layout, and a garage, for a price of $359,000 including HST. After our meeting, I verified Shane’s impressive plans with my brother Allister, a construction professional, who assured me that Shane’s reputation for quality and energy-efficient construction is well-deserved. Now, just weeks later, the project is progressing on schedule, with walls going up and everything aligning perfectly. If you're looking for a high-quality, cost-effective new home, don’t miss this opportunity. Contact me today. Call or text me at 902.940.5455 or cyrusmacd@gmail.com Serious about selling?
