Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a view of Canada in the early 19th century, with the aim of informing people in Britain who were considering the move to Canada. The author was motivated to write by his belief that many of the books available at the time were misleading and aimed at boosting sales of land by painting an unrealistically positive picture of life in Canada. The book includes descriptions of multiple townships, the land they contain, the produce that can be grown there, and the ease of access to markets for that produce. A significant focus is given to the quality of water communication routes, which the author demonstrates were vital to the movement of people and goods. The author includes some discussion of the political and social situation in Canada, particularly the tension between the french and English. There's also information on the weather, the availability of goods, and the currency used in Canada. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Canada or immigration in the early 19th century and is a fascinating account of life on the frontier.
