Wendy Cameron, ed. - English Immigrant Voices: Labourers' Letters from Upper Canada in the 1830s
McGill-Queen's University Press, 2000. Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Fine. 9780773520356 Brief, neatly written gift inscription to previous owners inscribed on the title page, contents otherwise clean and unmarked. Collected from published, archival, and private sources, these letters place the Petworth immigrants in the context of their times and challenge the image of English immigrants to 1830s Upper Canada as officers and gentlewomen. Wendy Cameron, Sheila Haines, and Mary McDougall Maude have carefully annotated the letters to sketch the stories of individual writers, link letters by the same author or members of the same family, and explore the connections between writers. What eventually happened to some of the writers is also revealed in this engaging collection. English Immigrant Voices provides a valuable insight into the rural poor and their experiences in emigrating to a new land. 696 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: History; ISBN/EAN: 9780773520356. Inventory No: dscf11124.
