Death or Canada: The Irish Famine Migration to Toronto, 1847 - McGowan, Mark

Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to upper back corner and bottom front corner by spine; otherwise very minimal wear; This volume tells the story of how more than 38,000 migrants, most of whom were Famine refugees, descended on Toronto, Canada, in the spring and summer of 'Black '47.' A colonial town of less than 20,000 people, Toronto found its resources, ingenuity, and leadership stretched beyond any reasonable limit. This book tells a story of desperation, tragedy, and hope that exposes both human hardness of heart and the best that the human spirit can offer.
