This collection of essays by Manchester native and St. Anselm College modern language professor Robert B. Perreault provides a look back at the French side (both literally and figuratively) of the city of Manchester.
"A strong sense of unity and tradition frames a fascinating history of Manchester, New Hampshire’s Franco-American community. Author Robert B. Perreault presents this story through compelling vignettes, including the triumphant success of photographer Ulric Bourgeois, the undeniable conflict between the French and Irish immigrants and a colorful profile of book collector and author Adélard Lambert. Featuring vintage images from Perreault’s private collection, this work is a stunning visual narrative of the French-Canadian contributions to local culture." (back cover)
