The Eastern Townships in Context : Quebec’s Eastern Townships and the World has appeared in print and it has not disappointed. Edited by Cheryl Gosselin, Andrew Holman, and Christopher Kirkey

|

A sneak peek of a book that speaks to my experience and interests was among the surprises of the last ACQS conference, in Quebec City—a happy surprise for the individuals involved in the project. Since then, Quebec’s Eastern Townships and the World has appeared in print and it has not disappointed. Edited by Cheryl Gosselin, Andrew Holman, and Christopher Kirkey, this collective work places the Eastern Townships in contexts and networks that transcend Quebec’s present boundaries.

The Townships are a historic region of the province easily identified, even on current maps, from the grid-like pattern of land grants. At the time of the U.S. Revolutionary War, French settlers had begun to form communities along the Chaudière River and to work their way up the Yamaska. Their settlements grew under the system of seigneuries issued by the French colonial regime. Between the Chaudière and the Yamaska lay a section of the historic homeland of the Wabanaki that remained closed, largely, to permanent European settlement until the 1780s.
