Remembering Famine Orphans: The Transmission of Famine Memory between Ireland and Quebec
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the documentary sources on which is based the popular memory of the famine Irish orphans of 1847 that were adopted by French Canadian families in Quebec City and Montreal. The author argues that this memory can be traced not to contemporary records and correspondence between French Canadian and Irish clerics, religious and lay benefactors and government officials who first ministered to the famine migrants on Grosse Isle and in Montreal, but rather to a set of pastoral letters, pamphlets, didactic novels and travelogues published a generation after the famine in the 1860s, especially John Francis Maguire's The Irish in America (1868).
