Item description from seller

Original cream cloth over boards with black lettering. Cream pictorial dustjacket has black and white photo of a painting of the subject on the cover, with pink decoration and black lettering. Minor wear to top edge of jacket. Ramsay was a nineteenth-century Scottish businessman, unusual in the fact that he cared about people as much as money. When exploding population and repeated crop failures on the island of Islay forced people into poverty in the early 1860's, Ramsay began to encourage and assist them to emigrate to Canada. Many of them settled in the Barrie/Orillia Ontario area. In 1870, he came to check on them. An account of his trip is included in the book. Ramsay's granddaughter-in-law wrote the biography of Ramsay. John's oldest brother, Thomas Ramsay, was building ships in Miramichi, New Brunswick in the late 1820's. 163 pp. with Index. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall.

Description de la boutique

We specialize in old hardcovers, and also have an extensive selection of local/Maritimes history. On December 31, 2023, we were forced to close our 23-year-old bricks and mortar bookstore due to a change in the building's ownership. We now operate online from our home (order pickup by appointment only).
