J'aime New York, 2nd Edition:
Most people think of the Statue of Liberty when asked about French Heritage in New York State but there are those out there who quickly turn to upstate and the borderlands...thinking of Clinton County, the St Lawrence Seaway, Fort Ticonderoga (think Fort Carillon), Lake Champlain , Lake George (Lac du Sacré Sacrément), Au Sable Chasm and many more places. So I am sending off for a copy of the 2nd Edition of J'aime New York from SUNY Press. I hope not to be disappointed but will post more as soon as I get my hands on a copy! I can't wait.....
'via Blog this'
Stories of family and ancestors who lived and worked in Cohoes (textile and garment workers, butchers and barbers), Waterford (canalers), Whitehall (farmers and canalers), Port Henry (iron miners and Civil War soldiers), Champlain (canalers and farmers) and other towns along the Champlain Canal in New York State with some diversions to the places they emigrated from....Quebec (landless farmers, shoemakers, sailors, soldiers), Acadia (more farmers), and even Cornwall, England (tin miners).
