"In the People of Hamilton, Canada West, Michael Katz reconstructs the social structure, life cycle, and domestic relations within a mid-nineteenth century Canadian city. His analysis draws on the records of the entire population found on the manuscript census, assessment rolls, city directories, newspapers, and other sources. With the aid of the computer and automated techniques of tracing the experiences of individual people over time, he has explored the relationships between inequality, ethnicity, sex, mobility, transiency, household structure, and coming of age during a period of profound social change.".
