| On November 16, 2003, the Great Recruit, some 100 men from France who had set out to save the endangered colony, arrived in Montreal. Let us celebrate these builders, who were not afraid to cross the ocean. For the most part, they worked at clearing the land. Yet some were carpenters, tailors, cobblers, sawyers and much, much more. We are highlighting these long-forgotten trades, which demonstrate the hard work of the first colonists. Follow along with us through these chronicles as we present some of the trades practiced by these 100 men, some trades have disappeared, others have been practiced down through the years and still others were unusual. But... every trade had its value! Enjoy your reading! |
