This week we have Patrick Lacroix on to talk about Quebec in the 1840’s and what caused people to leave, including agricultural and non-agricultural reasons for immigration. Jesse asks when the story of Franco-Americans starts, Where the first settlers went in the United States and the Formation of the first “Little Canadas”. Patrick runs the amazing, must read blog Query the Past.
