Reviews

"""Catholics Across Borders fills an existing hole in the historiography of immigration and ethnicity in the United States. French Canadians are an understudied group, even though they are one of the largest immigrant groups of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries … Beyond making a significant contribution to immigration, borderlands, and ethnic history, Richard's book also enhances our understanding of American religious history and women's history."" — Leslie Choquette, Assumption University ""Despite the massive immigration of French Canadians to the United States from approximately 1860 to 1930 and the contributions of this sizeable ethnic group to the development of towns and cities throughout the northeastern United States, Franco-American history and heritage are largely overlooked … Thankfully, this work addresses this gap. Dr. Richard's … scholarship is extraordinarily sound and thorough."" — Janet L. Shideler, Siena College"
