- Being Letters From The Wife Of An Emigrant Officer

Bag om The Backwoods Of Canada

""The Backwoods of Canada"" is a collection of letters written by Catherine Parr Traill, the wife of an emigrant officer, during her journey from England to Canada in the 1830s. The book provides a vivid description of her experiences and observations of the Canadian wilderness, as she settles in the backwoods of Upper Canada with her husband and children. Traill's letters cover a wide range of topics, including the challenges of farming in a harsh climate, encounters with indigenous people, and the beauty of the Canadian landscape. The book also offers a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the time, as Traill reflects on the role of women in society and the importance of education. Overall, ""The Backwoods of Canada"" is a fascinating account of one woman's journey into the unknown, and a valuable historical record of early Canadian life.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.
