Summary:
"One of Canada's foremost immigrant groups: the story of the great migration of English people to Canada that peaked during the early twentieth century. The book sets out the various events that propelled this immigration saga, which begins in the seventeenth century with the influx of English people to Atlantic Canada, moves on a century later to Ontario and Quebec, and continues into the late nineteenth century with the arrival of the English in the golden West. The great stream of English people who came to the Prairies and British Columbia in search of land and job opportunities represents one of the most iconic periods of Canada's pioneering history. The author reveals their outstanding contribution to Canada's settlement and subsequent development and challenges the assumption that English Canadians were a privileged elite. In fact, most came from humble backgrounds. Essential reading for genealogists and general readers wishing to appreciate why the English immigrated to Canada and the enormity of their achievements"--Provided by publisher.
