English Immigrant Voices: Labourers' Letters From Upper Canada in the 1830s.
By: Wendy Cameron, Sheila Haines and Mary McDougall Maude
Collected from published, archival, and private sources, the letters of the Petworth immigrants place the writers in the context of their times and challenge the image that English immigrants to Upper Canada were onlt 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 connections between writers. What eventually happened to some of the writers is also revealed in this engaging collection.
Hard Cover, 471 pgs., indexed, 2000, ISBN 0-7735-2035-X.
