Backwoods of Canada

by Catharine Parr Traill

The toils, troubles, and satisfactions of pioneer life are recorded with charm and vivacity by Catharine parr Traill, who left the comforts of genteel English society for the rigours of a new, young land. Traill offers a vivid and honest account of her trip to North America and of her first two and a half years living in the bush country near Peterborough, Ontario.
Ages 12 and up.
