Title
The Habitant's Standard of Living on the Seigneurie des Mille Isles, 1820-1850
Abstract
Colonized after the British Conquest, the Seigneurie des Mille Isles, situated north of Montreal, was settled by both French Canadians and Irish and Scottish immigrants. The author outlines the living and farming conditions of these people and shows why the area was "a real haven for the small farming class being displaced by the English Industrial Revolution."
