Item description from seller

Light edge wear to DJ, front flaps creased; A bright, solid book, dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector.; B&W Illustrations & Maps; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 370 pages; "The authors evaluate both emigration and settlement and present as well revealing personal documents about the intense, often painful experiences of the settlers. Part I explores the geographical links - particularly the phenomenon of chain migration - that shaped decisions to leave Ireland. Part 2 examines patterns of settlement in the new land: many Irish settled near family members and friends who had emigrated before them. Most Irish immigrants arrived in Canada before the Famine, healthy and with some personal resources and were able to find niches for themselves. Part 3, with biographies and collections of letters written home, chronicles personal and social life in the new land. The documents illustrate links and patterns revealed in the earlier anlysis of emigration and settlement." (jacket blurb).
