Lucille H. Campey is well known for her series of books on British and Irish immigration to Canada. Her latest, “Quebec and Acadia’s French Pioneers: The Best of France to New France,” switches gears with the story of individuals who transformed the Canadian landscape in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Published on 15 November, I’ve not yet had a chance to read it. I look forward to that. The book looks at how these settlers in the St. Lawrence Valley and Atlantic Canada overcame obstacles that must, at times, have seemed insurmountable to create new lives in a wilderness far from their origins.
The book is available from Amazon in paperback (202 pages) at $25 and in Kindle for $9.
