Book excerpt: "In this history of Mayo, Quebec, we follow the early Irish settlers who came to Canada to build a new life. We see how Mayo grew from a lumber country to a farming community to a bustling municipality with a church, schools, stores, cheese factories, and industries. We discover where these pioneers settled, how they sustained themselves and how they created the spiritual, educational and political institutions needed to enrich their lives. Firsthand accounts and newspaper articles provide an insight into the everyday life of the early residents of Mayo. Stories of the log drives, church life, school life and dance hall events show a tight knit and very social community; a community that pulled together during tragedy and happiness. For those researching their family roots in Mayo, find out whether your ancestors helped to create the first Mayo schools, served as mayor or ran the post office. Knowing where your ancestors lived and their ties to the community provides an insight into their lives not normally gleaned from family tree research."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ottawa Valley is a region of Canada straddling the Ottawa River in Ontario and Québec that is well known for its rich singing, storytelling, fiddling and step dancing traditions. Settled largely by the Irish, Scots and the French over the past two hundred years, it had largest concentration of people of Irish origin in Canada by the late 19th century. Travelling through the Valley one gets the sense of coming face to face with the past. While its dramatic history is filled with incidents of extreme hardship and tragedy, the overriding impression is of a triumphant survivalism associated with its strong men of the past; the voyageurs, the coureurs du bois and the lumbermen. The legacy of this unique heritage—from fiddling and step dancing to tales of priests, lumberman, and Orange and Green rivalries—is explored in this book through the voices of Valley people themselves. The author reveals the importance of place and history in the transmission of this vibrant regional culture down to the present day.
