What would the Ottawa Valley be without the Irish?
Between the years 1818 and 1868 they came here in their thousands, both Protestant and Catholic, from every county in the Emerald Isle. They left Ireland for many different reasons, and their arrival helped to shape the destiny of this part of Canada.
Carol Bennett has documented the Irish settlement in the old District of Bathurst (part of the modern counties of Carleton, Lanark and Renfrew) drawing on the history of nineteenth century Ireland to explain why the people left their native land, and how these events affected the Ottawa Valley.
In addition, she has profiled a cross-section of the old families of the area. These stories will be invaluable to the genealogist.
D.W. McCuaig’s photographs of Ireland and the Ottawa Valley interspersed with a few heritage photos for contrast, will enable the reader to compare the two landscapes as they are today
This publication contains maps and photos.
