Canadian social history - presenting a first-hand basis for
Upper Canada's reputation as "a poor man's country." Editors
Wendy Cameron, Sheila Haines, and Mary McDougall Maude
confront the questions of authenticity that surround
working-class letters of this early date, using their work
on assisted emigration under the Petworth Emigration
Committee to identify the writers and place their letters in
the context of the emigration scheme that enabled them to
come to Canada. Their letters, written or dictated to family
and friends, provide a rare first-hand view of the immigrant
experience from a working-class perspective."--BOOK JACKET.
