Rudy Vallee: Franco-American And Man From Maine, C. Stewart Doty Jun 1993

Rudy Vallee: Franco-American And Man From Maine, C. Stewart Doty

Maine History

The Vallee family, like others that migrated from Quebec to New England, was gradually Americanized. Hubert “Rudy ” Vallee, shaped by this process of Americanization, nevertheless maintained a lifelong pride in his Franco-American roots. Throughout his long and successful career, Vallee also retained a strong affection for his native state, his fellow Mainers, and the University of Maine, which he put on the map with his hit recording of the “Stein Song. ” Rudy’s loyalty to his roots and native soil is reflected in his final resting place: the Franco-American St. Hyacinthe s Cemetery at Westbrook, in the State of …


Into The Heart Of Maine: A Look At Dexter’S Franco-American Community, Dorothy A. Blanchard Jun 1993

Into The Heart Of Maine: A Look At Dexter’S Franco-American Community, Dorothy A. Blanchard

Maine History

The study of French-Canadian immigration is generally centered around New England ’5larger cities; small towns receiving migrants are usually overlooked. This article examines the French-Canadian population in one such rural town. Dexter, Maine, serves as a microcosm of the larger “petits canadas ” throughout New England, but it also projects a different type of ethnic experience. Dorothy A. Blanchard discusses the rewards and the hardships of the Franco experience in rural Maine.


Franco-Americans And The International Paper Company Strike Of 1910, Anders Larson Jun 1993

Franco-Americans And The International Paper Company Strike Of 1910, Anders Larson

Maine History

In 1910 International Paper Company workers in Livermore Falls successfully engineered a thirteen-week strike. Meanwhile, the same effort in Rumford Falls failed dramatically. Historically, Franco-Americans have been characterized as conservative and reluctant to join labor unions. This holds true for Rumford, but those in Livermore Falls stood behind the strike effort. Anders Larson explores this stereotype as he analyzes the strike experience in the two communities.
