Book Synopsis
A lively reconstruction of life in a booming North American city.

Trade Review
"The authors cannot reconstruct conversations, but they still want us to remember that there were 'long evenings of discussions, fits of indignation, tears of rage, volleys of profanity, and peals of laughter.' These instincts for life in the city make Peopling the North American City an exceptionally good book." John C. Weaver, McMaster University "A first class addition to North American historical demography, with an ambition to reach a much broader audience. Olson and Thornton are experienced, informed researchers, and their scholarship is exemplary." Gordon Darroch, York University "Voici donc un livre important, imposant avec ses 500 pages et plus, illustre abondamment avec de magnifiques photographies et gravures de l'epoque, ecrit dans un anglais a la fois elegant, precis et colore, et qui temoigne amplement de la grande generosi
