"Since 1883 Finnish immigrants in Sudbury, men and women alike, have striven to improve their lot through the options available to them. Despite great obstacles, the Finns never flagged in their unwavering fight for workers' rights and the union movement. And as agricultural settlers, labour reformers, builders of churches, halls, saunas and athletic fields, Finns left an indelible imprint on the physical and human landscape.

In the process they have played an integral part in the transformation of Sudbury from a small struggling rail town to its present role as regional capital of northeastern Ontario."--BOOK JACKET. "This penetrating study of the cultural geography of the Finns in the Sudbury region provides an international, national and local framework for analysis - a model for future studies of other cultural groups."--BOOK JACKET.
