| Title |
The Megantic Outlaw and His Times: Ethnic Tensions in Quebec in the 1880s
|
| Abstract |
The author contrasts how Quebec's English-language press and French-language press viewed the trials and tribulations of Donald Morrison (1858-1894), better known as the "Megantic Outlaw." The loss of the Morrison family farm in the Eastern Townships in the late 1880s to a French Canadian triggered a series of events that culminated in Morrison killing Deputy Jack Warren and his being harboured from the police for ten months by the local Scottish community. The author claims that the Morrison story offered both the English-speaking Protestant and French-speaking Catholic populations of Quebec additional material to support their grievances against one another.
