Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Catholic Church in Prince Edward Island: From 1835 Till 1891 In presenting the following pages to the reading public, I am not unmindful of the reception accorded my former volume: 'The Early History of the Catholic Church in Prince Edward Island." My experience in that connection taught me, that there are many well-meaning people, who in reading history, look rather for a fervid panegyric of persons than for a plain statement of facts, and the mental attitude of such with regard to an historian is not so much to inquire into the truth of what he lays down, as to find motives for the statements he makes. I have no doubt that the same spirit may, in some cases at least, influence the judgment that will not fail to be pronounced upon the present volume. This consideration however, did not deter me from telling the truth precisely as I found it. I have conscientiously endeavored to follow the sequence of events without favor or bias, knowing that no good cause can suffer by being painted in its true colors, and that no people need, fear the verdict passed on them by a truthful historian. All that the Catholic Church needs in any age or in any country is to be known exactly as she is. She courts the fullest investigation, since by that alone can the outside world become acquainted with her policy, and learn the true bearing of her action on the affairs of men. This I have endeavored to accomplish in the present volume, with regard to the events that mark the history of the Catholic Church in Prince Edward Island from the year 1835 down to the year 1891. How far I have succeeded time alone will tell. Confiding however, in the charity of the reading public I have launched this frail bark, trusting that it may float securely on the uncertain sea of literature, avoiding on the one hand the Scylla of national prejudice, and on the other the Charybdis of literary criticism.

Exiles and Islanders
Author: Brendan O'Grady
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773572007
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Exiles and Islanders describes Irish settlement in Prince Edward Island from 1763 to 1880. By tracing the history of these early settlers, Brendan O'Grady demolishes the myth that the Island's Irish settlers were largely refugees from the Great Potato Famine. Using a wide variety of sources, including folklore, newspaper reports, personal interviews, letters, shipping records, and historical data, O'Grady goes beyond mere statistics. We learn about settlers' hometowns in Ireland, why they left, when and how they came to Prince Edward Island, where they settled, and how they adapted to living in PEI. Over ten thousand Irish settled in PEI in the nineteenth century; by 1850 they comprised about a quarter of the Island's population. They were mainly pre-Famine immigrants and mostly Catholic. They came from all thirty-two counties of Ireland and settled in all sixty-seven townships of PEI. They took up farming, fishing, and rural occupations; raised large families; and retained their Irishness for several generations. Exiles and Islanders includes family names and places of origin that will be of particular interest to the Island's Irish descendants. An intriguing cultural history, the book provides new insight into the early settlers of Prince Edward Island.

Land, Settlement, and Politics on Eighteenth-century Prince Edward Island
Author: J. M. Bumsted
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773505667
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Soon after Prince Edward Island was transferred from French to British sovereignty in 1763, virtually the entire land surface was turned over to private proprietors on the understanding that they would finance both settlement and the administration of the territory. While the proprietors did not fulfil their obligations, they clung tenanciously to their privileges, ultimately becoming an anachronistic group of landlords on a North American continent where freehold tenure was the norm. J.M. Bumsted goes beyond the previous "heroes" (residents) and "villains" (landlords) approach of much of Island historiography by demonstrating the intimate interweaving of the issues of land, politics, and settlement.
