Montreal, 1535-1914. Vol. 2. Under British Rule, 1760-1914
The second volume of William H. Atherton's Montreal, 1535-1914, published in 1914, follows the city under British rule, which the author describes as the tale of two civilizations, French and British, growing side by side. It begins with the departure of many French residents after the conquest and the Treaty of Paris, then covers the American occupation during the Revolution, the long campaign for an elected assembly, the fur traders of the North West Company and their Beaver Club, the rebellions of 1837, the growth of the municipality and its mayors, and constitutional life after Confederation. The final chapters describe the commercial city of the early twentieth century and plans for a greater Montreal. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
