This week’s interview — number five — on the French-Canadian Legacy Podcast is with historian Patrick Lacroix who talks about Quebec in the 1840s and what caused people to leave the province, including agricultural and non-agricultural reasons for immigration.
Host Jesse Martineau asks when the story of Franco-Americans starts, where the first settlers went in the United States, and the formation of the first “Little Canadas.”
French-Canadian Legacy Podcast, which began in early March, focuses on the stories of some of the more than two million descendants of French Canadian immigrants who live in New England.
The podcast series is run by Mr. Martineau and Mike Campbell, who live in New Hampshire and are descended from Quebecers.
The podcast schedule until the end of July looks like a good one.
