Notice descriptive – Détails Fonds/collection :FINNIGAN, JoanNo d'acquisition :1991-0054Support :Enregistrement sonorePartie :2 of 2Date de production :1988-02Compagnie de production :Joan Finnigan (Interviewer)Description :Oral history interview of Howard Felton Harris, a retired farmer from Gatineau, Quebec, who talks about the genealogy of his family, farming in Gatineau and his youth. Harris provides much detail about his Harris ancestors who immigrated from England in 1818, first to Nova Scotia and later settled on a land grant at Gatineau Point, a fertile farming area. He also talks at length about the changes in Gatineau from the early years as a predominantly English-speaking, rural area. He discusses the other families in the area during his youth such as the Sharpleys, McGlachies, Kellys, Millers and others. He also recalls his grandfather who worked as a lumberman along the Lievre River where timber destined for Britain was driven down river to Quebec City. Harris recalls walking from Gatineau to Lisgar Collegiate in Ottawa - a 16-mile trip twice a day including a 5 cent ferry ride across the Ottawa River to Rockcliffe. Additional comments from Harris' wife Grace round out the interview.Langue :EnglishRemarques :Détails de l'inventaire : -
