Episode 13
In lucky episode number 13, hosts Julie and François compare the very different life paths taken by two Loyalist families who first arrived in Trois Rivières as refugees after the American Revolution. You’ll hear about an attorney general and about martial law; about who sympathised with the Patriotes in 1838 and who did not; and you’ll also find out about the first ever agricultural manual published in French Canada…by a son of a Loyalist family, the Barnards.
However, the hosts wander further afield from Loyalists, and also talk about toponomy, Irish immigrants to Nicolet, Irish pubs, and much more besides.
