Our Caughnawagas In Egypt is a historical account written by Louis Jackson in 1885. The book tells the story of a group of Caughnawaga Mohawk Indians who were hired by the British government to work as laborers in Egypt during the construction of the Suez Canal in the late 19th century. The Caughnawaga Mohawks were renowned for their physical strength and endurance, making them ideal candidates for the grueling work involved in building the canal. The book details their journey from their home in Canada to Egypt, their experiences working on the canal, and their interactions with the local Egyptian population.Jackson also provides insight into the cultural differences between the Caughnawaga Mohawks and the Egyptians, as well as the challenges and hardships they faced while working in a foreign country. The book is a fascinating account of a little-known chapter in Canadian and Egyptian history, and sheds light on the experiences of indigenous peoples during the colonial era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
