La Nouvelle France
On one level, Peter Moogk's latest book, La Nouvelle France: The Making of French Canada—A Cultural History, is a candid exploration of the troubled historical relationship that exists between the inhabitants of French- and English- speaking Canada. At the same time, it is a long- overdue study of the colonial social institutions, values, and experiences that shaped modern French Canada. Moogk draws on a rich body of evidence—literature; statistical studies; government, legal, and private documents in France, Britain, and North America— and traces the roots of the Anglo-French cultural struggle to the seventeenth century. In so doing, he discovered a New France vastly different from th...
The Limits of Rural Capitalism
Sylvester challenges the view in prairie historiography that agriculture had commercialized before the west was opened to settlement, and that ethnic communities alone resisted the market's potential.

The Good Regiment
In 1665 the Carignan-Salières Regiment was sent to Canada by King Louis XIV to quell the Iroquois, whose attacks were strangling the colony's fur-based economy and threatening to destroy its tiny settlements. In the course of its three-year stay in Canada, the regiment established a period of relative peace that allowed the French to consolidate their foothold on the north shore of the St Lawrence, establish new settlements across the river, and rebuild the economy to its former prosperity. Promoted by Abbé Lionel Groulx as a body of chosen men sent to do God's work, the regiment came to be viewed as an elite corps of Catholic crusaders. In The Good Regiment Jack Verney sets the record straight, revealing that the Carignan-Salières Regiment was not a group of saintly knights but caroused, womanized, and gambled in off hours just like any other infantry regiment.
La passion du patrimoine
Au-delà de la mémoire d'une institution, celle de la Commission des biens culturels du Québec depuis 1922. Il rappelle également les étages législatives qui ont à la fois marqué et reflété cette évolution. Ce livre s'adresse donc à tous ceux qui ont vu le patrimoine, considéré comme monument historique, devenir peu à peu un bien culturel, ressource et actif à développer. Il intéressera également tous ceux qui se sont approprié l'héritage reçu des générations précédentes et qui ont à coeur de faire avancer le patrimoine. On y trouve une analyse des faits marquant l'histoire de la Commission, une bibliographie exhaustive de sources et d'études, la liste des présidents, vice-présidents, secrétaires et commissaires, et près de cent cartes, tableaux et illustrations.
Chair City of the World
From the Introduction - This is the story of more than a century in the life of the Timpany, McConnell, Riley, and LaRoche families against the background of the rise and fall of the chairmaking industry in Gardner, Massachusetts. It is a family and social history of people moving from one country to another, showing who we were and who we became. It is a local history as well, providing a rich picture of Gardner’s everyday life and special moments in time. Gardner, Massachusetts, is located in Worcester County, not far from the New Hampshire border. In 1785, just before the town of Gardner was incorporated, there were sixty families living within what would become its boundaries. Constanc...
