Description

Book Synopsis
Gives voice to the Irish, Scottish, English, and Welsh women and men who negotiated the complex and often dangerous world of emigration between 1815 and 1845. Using "information wanted" notices that appeared in colonial newspapers as well as emigrants' own accounts, this work illustrates that emigration was a family affair.

Trade Review
"Firmly grounded in the journals, diaries, and letters of emigrants who sailed from Britain and Ireland for Upper Canada between 1815 and 1845, Emigrant Worlds and Transatlantic Communities is a marvellously empathetic account of the emigrant experience." Catharine Wilson, University of Guelph
