The British In Patagonia

May I express my gratitude and praise to historian Duncan Campbell who researches and runs a website about the historical presence of the British emigres who settled in Patagonia and especially Punta Arenas for a new life.

His site http://patbrit.org/bil/supp/c0304.htm gives an excellent and in depth historical insight into the lives and social history of the ordinary people who inhabited the icy climes of the most southernmost city on the face of the earth.

He has recently included the families of Joseph (Jose) Levy, Simon Dunn, and Henry Poirier in his vast list of people who lived and worked in the port.
