Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roughing It in the Bush, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, Life in Canada IN most instances, emigration is a matter of necessity, not of choice and this is more especially true of the emigration of persons of respectable con nections, or of any station or position in the world. Few educated persons, accustomed to the refinements and luxuries of European society, ever willingly re linquish those advantages, and place themselves beyond the protective influence of the wise and revered institutions of their native land, without the pressure of some urgent cause. Emigration may, indeed, generally be regarded as an act of Severe duty, performed at the expense of personal enjoy ment, and accompanied by the sacrifice of those local attachments which stamp the scenes amid which our childhood grew, in imperishable characters upon the heart. Nor is it until adversity has pressed sorely upon the proud and wounded spirit of the well educated sons and daughters of old but impoverished families, that they gird up the loins of the mind, and arm themselves with fortitude to meet and dare the heart-breaking conflict. The ordinary motives for the emigration of such persons may be summed up in a few brief words 5 the emigrant's hope of bettering his condition, and of escaping from the vulgar sarcasms too often hurled at the less wealthy by the purse-proud, common place people of the world. But there is a higher motive still, which has its orig1n In that love of independence which springs up spontaneously in the breasts of the high-souled children of a glorious land. They cannot labour in a menial capacity in the country where they were born and educated to com mand. They can trace no difference between them selves and the more fortunate individuals of a race whose blood warms their veins, and whose name they hear. The want of wealth alone places an impassable barrier between them and the more favoured Off spring of the same parent stock; and they go forth to make for themselves a new name and to find another country, to forget the past and to live in the future, to exult in the prospect of their children being free and the land of their adoption great.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catharine Parr Traill and Susanna Moodie are icons of the Canadian imagination. Yet most of what we know of these two English gentlewomen who spent their adult lives struggling in Britain’s harsh and vigorous colony comes from their own self-consciously crafted writings and from other writers’ sometimes fanciful depictions of them. But what were the women behind the authorial voices really like? In Sisters in the Wilderness, award-winning author Charlotte Gray breathes life into two remarkable and fascinating characters and brings us a vivid picture of life in the backwoods of Upper Canada.
Download or read book The Journals of Susanna Moodie written by Margaret Atwood and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Atwood's The Journals of Susanna Moodie (1970), regarded by many as her most fully realized volume of poetry, is one of the great Canadian and feminist epics. In 1980, Margaret Atwood's longtime friend, the distinguished Canadian artist Charles Pachter, illustrated, designed, and published a handmade boxed portfolio edition of 120 copies of the poem with silkscreen prints, created as an act of homage to the poet. Atwood herself has said of Pachter's work, His is a sophisticated art which draws upon many techniques and evokes many echoes. The poem and the prints inspire one another. This is the first facsimile edition of the original, as well as the first one-volume American edition of the poem, with an introduction by Charles Pachter and a foreword by David Staines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roughing It in the Bush, or Forest Life in Canada In the year 1832 I landed with my husband, J.W. Dunbar Moodie, in Canada. Mr. Moodie was the youngest son of Major Moodie, of Mellsetter, in che Orkney Islands; he was a lieutenant in the 21st regiment of Fusileers, and had been severely wounded in the nightattack upon Bergen-op-Zoom, in Holland. Not being overgifted with the good things of this world-the younger sons of old British families seldom are-he had, after mature deliberation, determined to try his fortunes in Canada, and settle upon the grant of 400 acres of land, ceded by the Government to officers upon half-pay. Emigration, in most cases-and ours was no exception to the general rule-is a matter of necessity, not of choice. It may, indeed, generally be regarded as an act of duty performed at the expense of personal enjoyment, and at the sacrifice of all those local attachments which stamp the scenes in which our childhood grew in imperishable characters upon the heart. Nor is it, until adversity has pressed hard upon the wounded spirit of the sons and daughters of old, but impoverished, families, that they can subdue their proud and rebellious feelings, and submit to make the trial.
