Dr. John J. Mannion was a Professor of Geography (retired) at Memorial University of Newfoundland and is one of Canada’s leading cultural geographers, and an expert on Newfoundland settlement history.
This study examines three areas of Irish settlement -- the Avalon peninsula, Miramichi, and Peterborough -- in terms of how their traditional farming methods, building styles, implements, settlement morphology, and other aspects of their culture were transferred, maintained, altered, or adapted in the new setting.
