The Backwoods Of Canada: Being Letters From The Wife Of An Emigrant Officer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163287842)

The Backwoods of Canada is a collection of letters written by Catherine Parr Traill, the wife of an emigrant officer, during her journey to and settlement in Canada in the 1830s. The letters describe her experiences and observations of the Canadian wilderness, the people she encounters, and the challenges of daily life in the backwoods. Traill's vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of Canada, from the vibrant colors of the autumn leaves to the majesty of the Niagara Falls, are interspersed with accounts of the difficulties of farming, hunting, and building a home in an unforgiving landscape. The book provides a unique and valuable insight into the early days of Canadian settlement and the resilience of its pioneers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
