Show Notes

Our second season is devoted to a special series on the history of English speakers in Trois-Rivières: "From Burton to Barton." In this introductory episode, host Julie Miller and this season's special guest, historian François Roy, give an overview of what's to come.  Who were the first English speakers?  Where did they come from, and what did they do?  How did the community grow?  What caused a bigger divide: language, religion, or politics? And who were the lovers, the leaders, the dreamers, and the builders? We'll be looking at these questions and more in the coming weeks, but in this episode, we begin to dip our toes into the unexplored waters of the English presence in 3R.
