John and George Maxwell or the Maxwell Twins were Gaelic-speaking fishermen and musicians, known for inspiring a character in Rudyard Kipling's story Captains Courageous. The Maxwells were African Canadians who were born in 1864 to George and Mary Jane Maxwell who were originally from Judique. They were two of six children. The Gaelic-speaking family lived in Marble Mountain, Nova Scotia, the only Black family in the area at the time. The twins were both singers and composers of Gaelic songs. Jo
