Cantons-de-l’Est on Photos

August 3, 2003 by Baburek

“Cantons-de-l’Est” in French are Eastern Townships region in the Province of Quebec (map), Canada (discover).

After American War of Independence, the first wave of American immigrants arrived wanting to stay loyal to the British crown. They were first settlers in Eastern Townships of Quebec. Silent tombstones are witness of hard life some families went through in late 18th and through 19th century. More in travel notes…
