Backwoods of Canada

This was originally intended as just a gift for my wife who does historical research on our family trees. However, it proved so interesting that I had to take the liberty of reading it before I wrapped it. I found it difficult to put down and full of details usually glossed over by other writers who have had their works re-published recently. Well bound, easy to read, and a nice addition to the library. I liked it.

The hardships in the back woods in early Canadian history came alive in this book. This family carved out a farm in the wilderness where no roads, stores or comforts of civilization. I would recommend anyone interested in early north american history or how families fared in the wilderness to read this book. I highly recommend this book, and thank Townsend's for reprinting this journal from an early north american house wife.
