Description
Chapter 22 of a late nineteenth-century history of the state of Vermont: from the explorations of Samuel de Champlain to the 1890s. This chapter accounts for the outward flow of Vermont farmers and pioneers to the American Midwest and West - Ohio, Wisconsin, California, and other states - despite the New England state's largely open forests and uncultivated farmlands of the 1890s. The inward flow of immigrants from French Canada to work the Vermont soil. The author's descriptions of these "invasions from Canada" and his crude characterizations of French Canadian immigrant worker habits, skills, and ways of life. Descriptions of French Canadian poverty and theft in Vermont.
