Description: "This book is the biography of Father Greg MacLeod, The Cabbage Patch Priest--a man who lived a life devoted to Cape Breton Island, all humanity, and God. He loved good food, friendship, folk music--and was always ready to dance. Rooted in his birthplace of Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia, he was a voracious world traveler, seeking knowledge to bring home to his economically troubled island, all the while, wherever he landed, organizing for Community Economic Development through cooperative action and worker control. His travel companion for over forty years, Daniel Doucet inherited Greg's papers and private journals which bring this vigorous biography to life this vigorous biography."--
