Review Quotes

Frog Town is an original and informative work. It combines personal experience and family history with sociology, anthropology, legal history, and social history. The work is unique in this area in that it treats the Franco-American experience and history from the perspectives of both the Francophone and the Anglophone populations. Ranging historically from the early French and British settlements of North America to present Franco-American culture and recent legal cases in New Hampshire Frog Town gives a comprehensive and synthetic overview of the topic.
