Roughing It In The Bush

Bag om Roughing It In The Bush

Roughing It In The Bush is a memoir written by Susanna Moodie, a British author who immigrated to Canada in the 1830s. The book is a collection of anecdotes and observations about her experiences living in the Canadian wilderness, as she and her husband attempted to establish a farm and make a new life for themselves. Moodie's writing is both humorous and poignant, as she describes the challenges of adapting to a new way of life, including the harsh climate, the isolation, and the constant struggle to survive. She also reflects on the cultural differences between her native England and her new home, and the ways in which her own attitudes and beliefs were challenged and changed by her experiences in Canada. Throughout the book, Moodie's love for the natural world shines through, as she describes the beauty and wonder of the Canadian landscape, and the many creatures she encounters in the wild. She also writes about the people she meets along the way, including other settlers, Indigenous peoples, and the occasional traveler passing through. Overall, Roughing It In The Bush is a vivid and engaging account of one woman's journey to a new land, and her determination to make a life for herself in the face of adversity. It is a classic work of Canadian literature, and a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the early days of Canadian settlement.Nature has lavished all her grandest elements to form this astonishing panorama. There frowns the cloud-capped mountain, and below, the cataract foams and thunders; wood, and rock, and river combine to lend their aid in making the picture perfect, and worthy of its Divine Originator.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
