A Magnificent Gift Declined: The Dalton Sanatorium of Prince Edward Island, 1913-1923 by Leonard Cusack (History), tells of the rise and fall of the state-of-the-art sanatorium donated by Charles Dalton to the Province of PEI. Built in 1913 on an isolated hilltop in Emyvale, the hospital was demolished in 1923. Cusack skilfully portrays the political manoeuvring and social context surrounding PEI's first TB hospital.
