The Welsh in Canada have been generally disregarded by writers and historians. They came here in fewer numbers than other ethnic groups such as the Irish and the Scots, and as a result their contribution to Canadian life has been over looked. Nevertheless, they have made a significant impact on this country, as politicians, journalists, artists and clergy.In this book, Carol Bennett descibes Welsh immigration and settlements, discusses the survival of the Welsh language and cultural institutions in Canada, and tells the story of a number of famous Canadians of Welsh extraction. This is a celebration of the Welsh people as part of the Canadian cultural mosiac. 270 pgs / index & bibliography /paperback.
