Baddeck, And That Sort of Thing is a travel journal written by Charles Dudley Warner, the American author who co-wrote 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. While Warner's story may have has a positive impact on Cape Breton's economy, the story angered many Cape Bretoners for its portrayal of them as simple and backward.
