One Piece in the Great American Mosaic : The Franco-Americans of New England

One Piece in the Great American Mosaic : The Franco-Americans of New England

Essay written in 1976, "in the spirit of the [United States'] Bicentennial," recognizing the Franco Americans as a distinct and significant ethnic group in American history. The 38-page piece begins its observations at the 1524 French explorations of North America, from where it moves into New France, to rural life in Quebec and the revolutionary war in the US, and into the hundred years of French Canadian community development in immigrant New England. For this author, the history of the United States, Quebec, and France converge on the Franco Americans of the New England states. The text concludes with a list of "Who's Who" among Franco Americans, as well as a bibliography of relevant resources. The piece is also published in its entirety in a 1976 quarterly of the Association canado-américaine, "Two Hundred Years of Freedom."
