Title
Settlement Pattern, Environmental Factors and Ethnic Background on a Southwestern Quebec Frontier (1795-1842)
Abstract
The authors reconstruct early nineteenth century land colonization processes in Godmanchester Township, in the province’s Haute St-Laurent region. Studied are the settlement patterns of American, British, Scottish and French-Canadian settlers. Among the factors that influenced settlement were the hydrographical network, forest cover, road network, geomorphologic deposits and ethnic proximity.
