Book Description: The Champlain Society, Toronto, 2002. Hard Cover. Book Condition: Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. This book looks new. The interior is crisp and clean, showing no marks or wear. This is an unnumbered copy, but it has the Champlain Society seal on the spine. The red covers are in excellent condition, again with no wear. Synopsis: This is the family correspondence of the Hale/Amherst families, who arrived in Canada after the Conquest. "Through the medium of one well-placed extended English family with established roots and connections throughout the growing British Empire, we are able to build a portrait of the power that was concentrated . at Quebec. Their perspective on issues is very different from that of pauper emigrants or middle-class half-pay officers, and in some important ways it is very different from other Imperial office-holders, not many of whom have written personally about their experiences.".
