This study has important implications for our understanding of nineteenth-century society in Ireland, Canada, and the United States."--Jacket.
The Life and Times of George Penrose Woollcombe:Educator
The biography of a visionary whose life and work exemplifies and reflects that period of Canada's history. It is the story of an Englishman who came to Canada with the high-minded ambition to educate new generations of citizens with the values of service and effort. On September 16, 1891, G. P. Woollcombe began teaching 17 boys in an upstairs room on Wellington Street, directly across from the Parliament Buildings. Over his next 42 years as headmaster, Ashbury College became part of the fabric of the emerging nation.

Descendants remained chiefly in Canada, but some did enter the United States.
