Cloth and Clay: A Davison-Ferguson History (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781039192645)

Cloth and Clay: a Davison-Ferguson History is the story of two immigrant families united by marriage in nineteenth century Ontario. Traced back to their earliest known origins in North East Scotland and in Yorkshire, England and County Donegal and County Cork in Ireland, the narrative probes the challenges they faced in their homeland, reveals why they made the decision to emigrate and illustrates how they became established in the pottery and tailoring trades. Cloth and Clay explores the local history of both Hamilton and London, Ontario as the story of the Davisons and Fergusons unfolds. It is a well researched investigation of two families within the broader immigrant experience in Canada
