This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mohawk Valley and Lake Ontario The author and the publishers of the Great Lakes Series feel that it is proper for them to set forth briefly the principles which have guided them in preparing these supplementary readers. Though we realize that our work needs to be inter esting, we do not wish it to be merely entertaining. These readers are school books and are not intended as a recrea tion for idle hours. Therefore we have been careful not to give too much space to stories of battles and skirmishes or to picturesque Indian legends. Because the reading lesson is too Often but slightly related to the rest of the curriculum, we have tried to supplement the work in other studies by laying stress upon the more Obvious relations between geography, history and com merce. Exploration and trade in America have both romantic and practical aspects, and one or the other Of these is sure to appeal to wideawake children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Western Canada As President of the Lord Selkirk Association, I represent a Society, the principal object of which is to keep green and vivid the memory of the intrepid band of pioneers from Scotland who came out at the beginning of the last century and settled upon the banks of the Red River of the North, near where the City of Winnipeg now stands. No nobler or more indomitable contingent of colonists ever crossed the seas to carve out for themselves homes in a new and far-distant land than were the men, and the women, too, who comprised the various groups brought out by Lord Selkirk at that time. It is only necessary to read the history of the first few years of the Settlement to realize the unspeakably severe trials and difficulties which they were called upon to encounter - difficulties from fire and flood, and grasshoppers and conflicts between rival Trading Companies. The wonder is that they did not pull up stakes, abandon the place and seek better conditions elsewhere. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Forging of the Pikes a Romance of the Upper Canadian Rebellion Classic Reprint written by Anison North and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Forging of the Pikes, a Romance of the Upper Canadian Rebellion The Forging of the Pikes is a romance based on old political struggles in Upper Canada over eighty years ago. In the first part of the story an attempt has been made to give the viewpoint of the Reformers - "the Rebels" - who precipitated The Rebellion in 1837; in the latter part the attempt has been equally honest to give that of their opponents, the "Tories" - or loyalists of the day. But when all has been said it will probably be the love-story of Alan and Barry that will attract the greater number of readers. In the construction of the story the author wishes to acknowledge with grateful thanks, not only the help given by a few "pioneers," who still remember early days in the bush, but also that obtained from the following books: "The Rebellion in Upper Canada," - Dent; "The Life of William Lyon Mackenzie," - Lindsey; "The Family Compact," - Wallace; "The Life of Sir John Beverley Robinson," Robinson; "Landmarks of Toronto," - Robertson; "Toronto of Old," - Dr. Scadding; and Mrs. Jameson's "Winter Studies and Summer Rambles," from which has been taken the little Indian song, "Ojibway Quaince."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early History of Elora, Ontario, and Vicinity There is an element of romance about first things. They have a charm of novelty and freshness. As items of biographical interest they cannot be superseded, for however important any similar later experience may be, it can never be the first of that kind. That place is permanently occupied. There can be no second first. For this cause, if for no other, a history of the first settlers in Elora and vicinity may not be without interest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Big John Wallace: A Romance of the Early Canadian Pioneers And if at times I obtrude myself into my tale, remember it is difficult for a narrator to speak of things in which he has played even an unimportant part without seeming to speak much of himself. But one cannot fell the tree without felling also the vine which entwines it: and because I am grafted into the lives of the men and women of whom I write, you must bear with plain John Wallace as he unfolds his story. To-night I am alone in the big room whose oaken rafters, stained sumach-brown by time, throw back the ruddy glow from the stone fire-place. The log is eaten through and the flames slumber. Seated in my Old hickory chair, my favorite pipe alight, the half-lights and the stillness remind me of the smoky twi lights of those grand yesterdays, when these fair farms about me were forest, and above the misty marshes the fireflies twinkled as those guttering candles - ninety of them - twinkle now adown the shadowed length Of this empty banqueting hall.

And in the west a strip of blue sky, which was growing every moment larger and larger, showed that the weather would be clear and bitterly cold. The sun was not far from the horizon, and Lydia, seated by one of the windows, was watching a flock of snow-birds hopping about out side, picking up a handful of crumbs she had thrown them. Presently a gust of wind struck the house, making it tremble so, that she half believed it was going to rise and blowr away.

Download or read book Crossed Swords written by Mrs. Clement Alloway and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crossed Swords: A Canadian-American Tale of Love and Valor This tale of love and valor is woven around an episode of international history, the fifth siege of Quebec by the Continental troops, under General Richard Montgomery, during the war of the American Revolution. No event chronicled in the annals of the Republic or of the Dominion surpasses it in romantic interest and picturesqueness of detail; and for daring, courage and endurance of hardship, few adventures equal that midwinter attack on what was then an impregnable stronghold. The swords forming the cover design of this volume are reproductions of two of the identical weapons which figured in that notable assault. The one on the left was carried by Sir Guy Carleton, the commander of the Canadian forces, the other by an officer under Colonel Benedict Arnold's command. As the two rusty and trusty old blades now lie peacefully side by side in the picture-gallery of the Chateau de Ramezay, in Montreal, we hope that after a century of peace, the occasion may never arise when the two nations they represent will again cross swords.
