Irish Migrants in Canadas: A New Approach (McGill Queens Univ Studies in Ethnic History, Vol 1) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Including a new preface by the author, "Irish Migrants in the Canadas" probes beyond the aggregate statistics of most studies of the migration process. Bruce Elliott traces the genealogies, movements, landholding strategies, and economic lives of 775 families of Irish immigrants who came to Canada between 1815 and 1855 from County Tipperary, Ireland. He follows his subjects not only from Ireland to Canada but in their subsequent movements within North America. His work has important implications for current discussions of nineteenth-century society in Ireland, Canada, and the United States.
