Description

During the mid to late 1840s, dramatic riots shook the communities of Woodstock, Fredericton, and Saint John. Irish-Catholic immigrants fought Protestant Orangemen, with fists, club, and firearms. This book is the first serious historical treatment of the bloody riots and the tangled events that led to them.
