Reviews
Readers interested in Canadian and American immigration history will appreciate the depth of Vermette's research and the fascinating story he tells." -Publishers Weekly
"David Vermette's A Distinct Alien Race is an important study that goes well beyond just recounting an economic and social history of New England and Quebec. Vermette, an excellent and engaging writer/researcher, exposes an area of the past that has been somewhat dismissed and even discounted by both American and Quebec/Acadian historians who study the enormous French-speaking Canadian emigration from Quebec and the Maritimes to the textile industries of Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York from the 1840s to the 1930s." -Sandra Stock, Quebec Heritage News
"Meticulously researched and overflowing with facts, yet so well written that it's difficult to put down, the book tells a story few Americans are aware of." -Emilie Noelle Provost, The Bean Magazine
