History of the Franco-Americans of Southbridge, Massachusetts: (Histoire des Franco-Americains de Southbridge, Massachusetts)

In 1919, Southbridge business leader, state representative, and prominent member of the French-Canadian community published L'Histoire des Franco-Américains de Southbridge, chronicling the earliest settlers of French lineage in the region and the growth of the community to dominance in the town. Available only in French, many of Canadian descent and others simply interested in town history have not been able to fully enjoy this work – until now. Dr. Elizabeth Blood, a Professor of World Languages and Cultures at Salem State University recently completed this full English translation.
