The Cornish Overseas

Více o knize

The story of the migration of the Cornish people throughout the world is an epic. First and foremost a maritime land, with links to the greater world beyond these islands stretching back into prehistoric times, Cornwall has experienced waves of emigration throughout its long history. The Cornish Overseas details the global impact of the most recent of these waves - the 'Great Emigration' that lasted for a little more than a century from 1815 until the First World War and after.
