Description:

"In the hundred years ending in 1930, an estimated 2.8 million Canadians moved south of the 49th Parallel and settled in the United States. The human and technical resources they brought made Canadian immigrants integral to the growth of New England, the Great Lakes region, and the west coast. Crossing the 49th Parallel is the first book to encompass that entire, continent-wide population shift, bringing Canadian migration to the center of both Canadian and U.S. history." "Bruno Ramirez researches the contents of previously unused border records to bring to light the wide variety of local context and historical circumstances that led Canadian men, women, and children to cross the border and become key actors in the U.S. economy and society." -- Book jacket
