Going to the Country: Lebanese Peddlers on Prince Edward Island
Collection Search
Description
Imagine a giant circle with its
centre in London, England and
a radius of 400 miles. This is the circle
of ancestry for most Prince Edward
Islanders. French, English, Irish,
Scots, Dutch—all trace their roots
back to this coastal region of Western
Europe. But there are two notable exceptions.
The first is the Indian people,
who trekked to this place from
the great plains of Eastern Asia. The
second is the Lebanese.
