Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twenty-Seven Years in Canada West, Vol. 1 of 2: Or the Experience of an Early Settler No one can give an adequate view of the general life of a colonist, unless he has been one himself. Unless he has experienced all the various gradations of colonial existence, from that of the pioneer in the backwoods and the inhabitant of a shanty, up to the epoch of his career, when he becomes the owner, by his own exertions, of a comfortable house and well-cleared farm, affording him the comforts and many of the luxuries of civilization, he is hardly competent to write on such a subject. I have myself passed through all these grades. I have had the honour of filling many colonial appointments, such as Commissioner of the Court of Requests, and Justice of the Peace. My commission in her Majesty´s Militia, and my connection with the Canada Company, have also afforded me some opportunities of acquiring additional information.
