Description:

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.

Synopsis:

A study of "leaving home" and the experiences of British and Irish migrants as they made their way to Upper Canada.
