Black and white illustrations: historic photographs; documents, figures, local and area maps, tables. For most of the nineteenth century the Irish formed the largest, non-French ethnic group in central Canada. [The author] provides a detailed analysis of the process of their settlement and adaptation in an eastern Ontario township. He dispels some of the myths about the Irish as urban dwellers and offers new assessments of the differences between Irish Protestants and Irish Catholics as they appeared outside the turbulent homeland. This fresh approach to conventional assumptions brings new insights to the history of the Irish, not only in Ontario, but throughout North America." (back cover) Uncommon.
