Download or read book The Backwoods of Canada written by Catharine Parr Traill and published by Townsends. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Backwoods of Canada is a collection of personal letters written by Catharine Parr Traill and published in 1836. The book was intended to equip other women immigrants with a realistic view of what life was like on the wilderness frontier of Canada as well as insight into the skills and strength needed to survive. Following her marriage to Thomas Traill, a retired British Lieutenant who served in the Napoleonic Wars, the couple emigrated to Canada and settled in the backwoods near what is now Peterborough, Ontario. Catharine was a prolific writer, having authored her first book at the age of 16. Following the publication of this book, she went on to produce Canadian Crusoes (1851) and The Female Emigrant's Guide (1854) with which she shared more antidotes of daily frontier life as well as a more thorough collection of requisite domestic skills. Traill was also an avid naturalist, producing multiple volumes on Canadian flora and fauna. This book offers an excellent glimpse into frontier life as it had existed relatively unchanged for many decades. It is especially unique in that it provides that glimpse from a female perspective.

Book excerpt: The Female Emigrant's Guide, and Hints on Canadian Housekeeping by Catherine Parr Strickland Traill is a window into the Canadian way of life.

Traill explains common household chores with great elan making this book an enjoyable read. As someone who learnt the ropes on her own, Traill shares her experiences and puts together a ready reference for anyone wishing to relocate to Canada. With a tone of instruction and advice, she covers various aspects in The Female Emigrant's Guide, and Hints on Canadian Housekeeping ranging from recipes specific to Canada, the ingredients and materials required for cooking and other housekeeping tasks as well as dedicated sections on issues like value of land, stores and miscellaneous matters. Traill writes a note to fathers and husbands and another for wives and daughters who are in the process of emigrating with specific advice to both sets, the crux of which revolves around the fact that there is no place in the country for those who do not wish to, or are not in a position to work hard with honesty and integrity.

Download or read book The Backwoods of Canada written by Catharine Parr Traill and published by Viking Canada. This book was released on 2006 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catharine Parr Traill's The Backwoods of Canada, first published in 1836, gives an intimate and vivid picture of life in the bush country of Upper Canada. The series of letters that make up the book cover a period of two and half years. Though most were originally written to her mother, the letters were later compiled and published for an intended audience of future female emigrants. Traill's account of life in the New World is cheerful and buoyant despite the hardships she relays--from the three-month journey to Upper Canada by ship to settling in the bush near Peterborough, Ontario. The letters offer remarkable insight into the skills a well-suited woman might be expected to learn, but the lasting appeal of her work is due to her astute observations of changing notions of class and economy, which reached well beyond her stated audience. Traill typified a new type of woman--the pioneer--and contributed much to an emerging understanding of Canada and Canadian identity.
