"The 'Patriotes' of '37" is a historical book chronicling the events of the Lower Canada Rebellion, commonly referred to as the Patriots' War in French. The conflict took place in 1837–38 between rebels and the colonial government of Lower Canada. Together with the simultaneous rebellion in the neighboring colony of Upper Canada, it formed the Rebellions of 1837–38. As a result of the revolutions, the Province of Canada was created from the former Lower Canada and Upper Canada.

The 'Patriotes' of '37 A Chronicle of the Lower Canada Rebellion By Alfred Duclos DeCelles CANADIANS, OLD AND NEW The conquest of Canada by British arms in the Seven Years' War gave rise to a situation in the colony which was fraught with tragic possibilities. It placed the French inhabitants under the sway of an alien race-a race of another language, of another religion, of other laws, and which differed from them profoundly in temperament and political outlook. Elsewhere-in Ireland, in Poland, and in the Balkans-such conquests have been followed by centuries of bitter racial warfare. In Canada, however, for a hundred and fifty years French Canadians and English Canadians have, on the whole, dwelt together in peace and amity. Only on the one occasion, of which the story is to be told in these pages, has there been anything resembling civil war between the two races; and this unhappy outbreak was neither widespread nor prolonged. The record is one which Canadians, whether they be English or French, have reason to view with satisfaction. It does not appear that the Canadians of 1760 felt any profound regret at the change from French to British rule. So corrupt and oppressive had been the administration of Bigot, in the last days of the Old Regime, that the rough-and-ready rule of the British army officers doubtless seemed benignant in comparison. Comparatively few Canadians left the country, although they were afforded facilities for so doing. One evidence of good feeling between the victors and the vanquished is found in the marriages which were celebrated between Canadian women and some of the disbanded Highland soldiers. Traces of these unions are found at the present day, in the province of Quebec, in a few Scottish names of habitants who cannot speak English.

Niall returns from Montreal to Quebec, to personal and political troubles. The turmoil that results from the shootings of three bystanders by British soldiers leads to an acrimonious 1833 parliamentary session. Partisan passions run high, and friendships across political lines become fraught. Meanwhile, within the Neilson family that has become as close to Niall as his own, troubles mount. The eldest son, now Editor of the Quebec Gazette where Niall works, has a falling out with his father and leaves for the old country. Mr. Neilson finds himself more at more at odds with his former political ally and close friend, Louis-Joseph Papineau and the Quebec liberals. The Neilson's younger children, John and Agnes, find themselves in serious scrapes and turn to Niall to rescue them. And as Niall's romantic relationship with Julie falls apart, he is heartbroken, especially when she leaves the city for Montreal and a career. But his involvement with the Nielson family becomes more intimate as his relationships with Margaret and Samuel develop. As the months pass, and the British colonial government makes one ham-handed decision after another, it stokes the wrath of the Patriote party. As its leaders become more radical in their demands for change, the English and Scotch merchant communities formalize their opposition into a party of their own. Violence on both sides marks the 1834 elections. This second volume of Jan Morgan's story of the road to rebellion covers the period from 1832 to '34. Told through Niall's fictional journal, memoirs and letters, the novel sticks close to the facts, while dramatizing those events where no record exists. It is an exciting tale, filled with conflict and passion, quite different from most people's view of Canada as a 'peaceable Kingdom.'

Welcome Niall O'Donell, Emigrant! Volume 1, Chronicle of Lower Canada In 1828, 14-year-old orphan Niall O'Donell leaves Ireland for the new world. By good fortune, on the crossing he meets John Neilson, editor of the Québec Gazette, and a member of the Quebec Legislative Assembly. This chance encounter changes the entire direction of young Niall's life. With his patron, Mr. Neilson, Niall heads to Lower Canada, learns French, and becomes a reporter. In his job, he has a front row view as the relationship deteriorates between the British colonial government and the inhabitants of the colony-French, English and Indian. Niall's life in Lower Canada is not all politics. He meets charming young women, makes friends, encounters jealous sons, employees and rivals, and uncovers unscrupulous mountebanks as he grows to manhood. His love of dogs, horses, and the outdoors stands him in good stead as his work as a journalist takes him into the countryside to learn about life of in the rough, sparsely-inhabited interior. When he travels to the principal city, Montréal, to report on elections, the simmering violence erupts. Then Cholera arrives on ships bringing immigrants from overseas, and an epidemic of disease and death sweeps the colony. As tragedies shatter the lives of his friends and adopted family, Niall suffers the blow of star-crossed love. Jan Morgan's novel reads like the most exciting fiction, yet it is solidly based on fact. She says, "I have been as conscientious as any doctoral student in digging up the past, in reading the primary documents, the newspapers, the letters, and in being as accurate as possible about the known historical facts. Where I have diverged from university practice is to reconstruct what went on when no facts are known."
