Barnardo Children In Canada by Gail H. Corbett. Copyright 1997. Signed by author on inside title page. Woodland Publishing Peterborough, Ontario. ISBN 10: 0-9690-751-0-3. Softcover. 133 pages. Black and white illustrations. This book unmasks one of the greatest human interest stories in Canadian history: the emigration of tens of thousands of children from Britain to Canada between the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Through first-hand accounts and archived materials, Corbett sensitively and accurately records the pilgrimage of the children who, against great odds, proved that Canada was the promised land. Today, 'Barnardo Children' and their descendants are counted among Canada’s greatest nation builders. Non-smoker home. If you are reading this ad, this item is still available.
