Crossing the 49th Parallel : Migration from Canada to the United States, 1900-1930
A chronicling of movement from English and French Canada to the United States in the first thirty years of the twentieth century. Focused less on American community building than on patterns and means of human migration visible in government records from across the length of the Canadian-American border. An attempt at integrating the often-overlooked Anglo Canadian migration with that of French Canadians, and measuring Canadian emigration both within and beyond boundaries of ethnicity. Observations on instances of "remigration" - the movement to the United States of recent immigrants to Canada - in the time period of concern. From the book jacket: " 'Crossing the 49th Parallel' is the first book to encompass that entire, continent-wide population shift, bringing Canadian migration to the center of both Canadian and U.S. history." "Bruno Ramirez researches the contents of previously unused border records to bring to light the wide variety of local contexts and historical circumstances that led Canadian men, women, and children to cross the border and become key actors in the U.S. economy and society."Tags Acadians, Berlin NH, British Columbia, Buffalo NY, Business and Economics, Canada, Central Falls RI, Cohoes NY, Demography, Detroit MI, Eastport ME, Emigration and Immigration, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Fall River MA, Farming and Agriculture, Goffstown NH, Haverhill MA, Holyoke MA, Illinois, Jackman ME, Labor History, Lawrence MA, Lowell MA, Lynn MA, Manchester NH, Manitoba, Massena NY, Michigan, Mills and Mill Work, Montana, Montréal QC, Nashua NH, New Bedford MA, New Brunswick, New England, New York, Niagara Falls NY, North Dakota, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Providence RI, Québec, Salem MA, Sault Sainte Marie MI, St. Lawrence River Valley, Toronto ON, Watertown NY, Waterville ME, Wisconsin, Woonsocket RI -

Ouvrage destiné au grand public, aux étudiants, aux éleves, 'Une Amérique française' est une vase fresque illustrant la contribution que, depuis plus de 350 ans, des millions de coureurs de bois, voyageurs, missionaires, colons, commercants, ouvriers, intellectuels, venus, de France ou du Canada, ont apportée et apportent encore, par leurs qualités françaises, à la civilisation des États-Unis.

A brief history of the French presence in North America. English translation of "Une Amérique française." From the text: "When we think of the French contribution to the history of the United States, we immediately think to Lafayette, especially in the bicentennial year of American Independence. We might be prone to forget that a large part of the American territory was, in the first place, French: discovered, mapped, and colonized as such from Montreal to Quebec....A work designed for the greater public and for all types of students, 'America's French Heritage' is a vast portrait illustrating the contribution that, for more than 350 years, millions of coureurs de bois, voyageurs, missionaries, colonists, businesspeople, workers, intellectuals, and others from France and Canada have brought AND still bring to the United States...."Tags Acadians, Arkansas, Boston MA, Canada, Detroit MI, Emigration and Immigration, Exploration and Colonization, France, Government and Politics, Great Lakes Region, Illinois, Language and Linguistics, Louisiana, Manchester NH, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montréal QC, Native Americans, New England, New Hampshire, New Orleans LA, New York, Newport RI, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- French in North America, Nonfiction -- History -- General, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia PA, Québec, South Carolina, St. Louis MO, United States, War, Wisconsin -
A Modern-Day Voyageur Family : Paddling the 3,000 Mile Fur Trade Canoe Route Across the U.S. and Canada
From the author: "When Kevin and Ben Kent were ages seven and five, their parents conceived an exciting, enriching, and educational project for the family. As a team, they began paddling the 3,000 mile length of the mainline fur trade canoe route across the U.S. and Canada, retracing the steps of their French ancestors. This ancient native route, which consisted of an extensive series of rivers and lakes, stretched from Montreal to the Great Lakes to Ft. Chipewyan on Lake Athabasca, in northern Alberta. This was the primary highway on which most fur trade, military, and religious personnel had traveled and hauled cargo into and out of the interior regions of North America during the entire fur trade era. Successfully paddling this ancient water highway from end to end over a series of fifteen consecutive summer trips, the Kent family experienced daunting challenges and terrifying calamities, as well as innumerable thrills and a great deal of satisfaction. In the process, the members of the family also absorbed much geography and history, and, most importantly, developed an appreciation of their own inner strengths. This engrossing and thought-provoking account of the adventures of the family incorporates a considerable amount of fur trade history, in which their direct French ancestors participated from about 1618 to at least 1758. 'A Modern-Day Voyageur Family,' written by one of the pre-eminent historians of the fur trade era, serves as both a source of inspiration and a guidebook for other families, couples, and individuals who wish to paddle all or portions of the historic route, or various other wilderness waterways. It also provides vicarious experiences and myriad lessons for those individuals whose venturing usually takes place in a safe reading chair on land. This work consists of a vivid adventure story, a how-to guide, and a primer on virtually all aspects of the French fur trade, all in one volume." -
