Title
Labor Study of the Franco-American Community of Waterville, Maine, from 1890 to 1940
Description
Study in labor history of the Franco-Americans in Waterville, Maine up to 1940. Includes author-conducted interviews. From Bernier: "The purpose of this study is not to undermine the importance of [successful Franco-American businessmen and professionals], but it is an attempt to account for the notable achievements of the working class Franco-Americans who contributed their labor, their votes, and their efforts to improve working conditions through striking evevn in the face of discrimination and financial insecurity. This group has been ignored in almost all the written accounts of Waterville, and this error must be rectified. The Franco-Americans--laborers, businessmen, and professionals, all contributed to the character and to the prosperity of Waterville."
