The People of Hamilton, Canada West: Family and Class in a Mid-Nineteenth-Century City - Katz, Michael B.

Clean, tight, unmarked; very light wear to bottom back edge of dust jacket; otherwise very minimal wear; Katz reconstructs the social structure, life cycle, and domestic relations within a mid-19th century Canadian city. His analysis draws on the records of the entire population found on the manuscript census, assessment rolls, city directories, newspapers, and other sources. With the aid of the computer and automated techniques of tracing the experiences of individual people over time, he has explored the relationships between inequality, ethnicity, sex, mobility, transiency, household structure, and coming-of-age during a period of profound social change.
