Quebec and Acadia's French Pioneers: The Best of France to New France
Quebec and Acadia’s French Pioneers tells the story of the French immigrants who came to Canada in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and founded their settlements.
The book concentrates on the pioneer couples. It describes their progress in establishing farms in the St. Lawrence Valley and in Atlantic Canada. Farming was their major pursuit, despite their seeming unsuitability for such work. They originated mainly from the cities and towns of France or their hinterlands. Success in these circumstances required incredible resourcefulness, courage and strength.
The book traces the progress of the French in establishing settlements along the shores of the St. Lawrence River, thus laying the foundation of the future province of Quebec. The Acadians, a smaller group originating from France, settled in the Maritime region. Despite being deported from their homeland by the British, they returned later on and established a new homeland in the Maritime Provinces and Quebec.
LUCILLE H.CAMPEY is the author of fourteen books on early Scottish, English and Irish emigration to Canada.
