Borderland Religion: The Emergence of an English-Canadian Identity, 1792-1852
ISBN: 9780802089168 / Angielski / Twarda / 415 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since colonization, Canadians and Americans have viewed religious matters differently. While this is not surprising given contemporary Canadians' reluctance to embrace U.S.-style social conservativism, the roots of the phenomenon are seldom examined. J.I. Little seeks to correct this oversight with Borderland Religion. Focusing on the settlement period of the Eastern Townships region of Quebec, Little addresses the role played by religion in forging a distinctive national identity for English-Canadians. While radical evangelical churches and sects developed in the hill country... Since colonization, Canadians and Americans have viewed religious matters differently.

Pope examines the way of life that developed in seventeenth-century Newfoundland, where settlement was sustained by seasonal migration to North America's oldest industry, the cod fishery.

In early 1812, as the British and the Americans were on the brink of war in North America, Fort St. Joseph was not thought to be of much importance to the British cause. It was disregarded as a useless, poorly located post. But when war was delcared, the garrison at Fort St. Joseph pulled off a miracle: it captured the American Fort Mackinac, and for the remainder of the War of 1812 the British never relinquished control of the Upper Great Lakes. Built in the aftermath of the American Revolution, Fort St. joseph played an important role in the defence of Canada. And yet, when the...

Chief among them was the partnership between Liberal...

Emigration
ISBN: 9781557099716 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Published in 1831 in London, Emigration was written to convince those who have already decided to emigrate to choose Canada as a destination and not the United States. The author, who tried both countries and then picked Canada as the place to settle, first concentrates on climate, dispelling fears that Canada is a country covered with eternal snows, and scarcely fit for the habitation of a civilized being. Hoping to attract hardworking, practical, and ambitious people, he then builds his case that Canada is a land of less expense and greater opportunity.

Undelivered Letters to Hudson's Bay Company Men on the Northwest Coast of America, 1830-57
ISBN: 9780774809740 / Angielski / Miękka / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the early nineteenth century, when the Hudson's Bay Company sent men to its furthest posts along the coast of North America's Pacific Northwest, the letters of those who cared for those men followed them in the Company's supply ships. Sometimes, these letters missed their objects -- the men had returned to Britain, or deserted their ships, or died. The Company returned the correspondence to its London office and over the years amassed a file of "undelivered letters." Many of these remained sealed for 150 years until they were opened by archivist Judith Hudson Beattie, when the Company...

Glengarry, Upper Canada's first major Scottish settlement, was established in 1784 by Highlanders from Inverness-shire. Worsening economic conditions in Scotland, coupled with a growing awareness of Upper Canadas opportunities, led to a growing tide of emigration that eventually engulfed all of Scotland and gave the province its many Scottish settlements. Pride in their culture gave Scots a strong sense of identity and self-worth. These factors contributed to their success and left Upper Canada with firmly rooted Scottish traditions. Individual settlements have been well observed,... Glengarry, Upper Canada's first major Scottish settlement, was established in 1784 by Highlanders from Inverness-shire.
