Abstract

In this collection of papers we have raised more questions than we can answer about the role of entrepreneurship in eastern Canada in the nineteenth century. If no definite conclusions emerge, this is perhaps because historical inquiry into the economic development of the region remains in its infancy. We hope that the papers in this collection, containing preliminary findings by scholars in several disciplines, may serve to stimulate further investigation and discussion of the entrepreneurial history of the region.
