Ignored but Not Forgotten: Canada's English Immigrants

The history of the migration of English people (people from England) to Canada that peaked during the early twentieth century. Based on wide-ranging documentary and statistical sources from both countries, the author sets out the various events that propelled this immigration saga, which begins in the seventeenth century with the influx of English people to Atlantic Canada, moves on a century later to Quebec and Ontario, and continues into the late nineteenth century with the arrival of the English in western Canada. The author challenges the assumption that these immigrants were a privileged elite.
