The Pioneers of Old Ontario (Classic Reprint) by William Loe Smith Pdf

Excerpt from The Pioneers of Old Ontario In the matter of location, the new-comers seem to have been allowed a wide range of choice. Lands, in what are now designated the Maritime Provinces, Quebec, and Ontario, were offered for settlement. Coming from New York and other agricultural states, many of the im migrants chose Ontario, settling for the most part within easy distance of the Great Lakes waterway. With their coming, the pioneer period of agri culture in Ontario may be said to have begun. Nearly all of those who came at first were of humble origin, of honest purpose, and almost destitute of means. For two or three years, owing to crop failures and lack of equipment, they received some aid from the Government. A considerable proportion of these first settlers were Loyalists, and mingling with them were discharged soldiers, many of them Hessians, who took up land in preference to returning to Europe.

City of London, Ontario, Canada by Archibald Bremner Pdf

Excerpt from City of London, Ontario, Canada: The Pioneer Period and the London of to-Day On the lt of May, 1803, the Governor's erst while secretary, Colonel Talbot, chopped down the first tree in the Talbot settlement, in what was then known as the Lon don District. The courts for the District were held first at Turkey Point till the court house was de stroyed by fire in 1815, when it was re erected at Vittoria. Here again the court house was burnt, and in 1826 it was ordered by the Legislature that the courts shoul future be held within some part of the res ervation heretofore made for the site of a town, near the forks of the River Thames, in the townships of London and Westminster, in the county of Middlesex. Here, then, we have the genesis of London. Rev. Dr. Vveb ster had visit-ed the plot some eight years previously, when the spot was a forest. Sixty years afterwards, in 1870, he wrote this de scription of it as it first appeared to him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Pioneer Life Among the Loyalists in Upper Canada (Classic Reprint) by W. S. Herrington Pdf

Excerpt from Pioneer Life Among the Loyalists in Upper Canada In the following pages I have endeavour ed to bring the reader into closer touch with the first settlers. Many excellent historical works have traced the development of our province and laid before us the achieve ments of our public men. In vain may we turn over volume after volume in our search for information concerning the evolution of the homestead, and the customs and peculiarities of the commoii folk of long ago. For the most part the sources of my infor mation have been original documents and interviews with old men and women, many of whom have since passed away. Even from such sources it is an easy matter to fall into error; but I have discarded what I feared was not trustworthy, and believe that I can confidently ask the reader to accept the general statements of facts as thorough ly reliable.

Pioneer Days in Ontario (Classic Reprint) by Lorne J. Henry Pdf

Excerpt from Pioneer Days in Ontario A hundred years ago, a voyage from Britain te Canada was by no means a pleasure trip. Even fo1 cabin passengers there were many hardships, and the vast majority of emigrants travelled steerage. Se long was the voyage, so poor were the living quarters and food, and so great the danger from sickness, that one wonders at the courage of our pioneer ancestors ir attempting it. Only the worst of conditions at home could drive men and women to undergo the sufferings of a passage in an emigrant ship, lacking comforts anc even food.

Toronto of Old by Henry Scadding Pdf

Excerpt from Toronto of Old: Collections and Recollections Illustrative of the Early Settlement and Social Life of the Capital of Ontario It is singular that the Disraeli has not included in his "Curiosities of Literature" a chapter on Books originating in Accident. It is exactly the kind of topic we might have expected him to discuss, in his usual pleasant manner. Of such productions there is doubtless somewhere a record. Whenever it shall be discovered, the volume here presented to the reader must be added to the list. A few years since, when preparing for a local periodical a paper of "Early Notices of Toronto," the writer little imagined what the sheets then under his hand would finally grow to. The expectation at the time simply was, that the article on which he was at work would assist as a minute scintilla in one of those monthly meteoric showers of miscellaneous light literature with which the age is so familiar; that it would engage, perhaps, the attention for a few moments of a chance gazer here and there, and then vanish in the usual way. But on a subsequent revision, the subject thus casually taken up seemed capable of being more fully handled. Two or three friends, moreover, had expressed a regret that to the memoranda given, gathered chiefly from early French documents, there had not been added some of the more recent floating folklore of the community, some of the homely table-talk of the older people of the place; such of the mixed traditions, in short, of the local Past of Toronto as might seem of value as illustrations of primitive colonial life and manners.

A History Ontario by Alexander Fraser Pdf

Excerpt from A History Ontario: Its Resources and Development The development of her natural resources has been steady. The field and the forest are yielding of their best to the touch of the specialist; the fisheries and the mines are beginning to show to the explorer and capitalist the magnitude of their all but exhaustless wealth; while the new land of the north offers millions of fertile acres to the enterprising husbandmen who may seek homes on its virgin soil.

Ontario Public School by George McKinnon Wrong Pdf

Excerpt from Ontario Public School: History of Canada Arctic Ocean. Later, he made the hard journey acrossmighty ranges of mountains and stood on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Meanwhile, in the East, the French and the English were learning, not without bitter strife, the need Of working together for their common country. Canada expanded, first eastward, to include the Maritime Provinces, and then westward, until her long frontiers touched those Of the United States for thousands Of miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific. After this expansion new problems came to Canada. She faced the stupendous task of building railways from the Atlantic to the Pacific. With this came the rapid development Of the West - political, agricultural, and commercial. Canada was long only a colony, but this condition was not adequate for a state which occupied half a continent. When Canadian troops fought on the battle fields Of South Africa, the effect was to increase the national self-reliance of Canada. Then came the grim, dramatic years Of the Great War. During this crisis in the history of mankind, Canada played her splendid part, and she secured recognition by the mother-land and by the world of her new and higher status in the British Commonwealth of Nations.

The Early History of Elora, Ontario, and Vicinity (Classic Reprint) by John Robert Connon Pdf

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.

Past Years in Pickering by William R. Wood Pdf

Excerpt from Past Years in Pickering: Sketches of the History of the Community Ontario, that once was "Canada West," is becoming in more senses than one "Old Ontario." Not a few of its settlements have passed and many more are nearing a hundred years of life. The life of the past century in every Ontario community is worth recording, and if it is to be adequately written it must be done before the participants in its experiences have all passed away. This book is an attempt to do that task for the Township of Pickering. It does not profess to be a formal history. It is a series of sketches written with little endeavor after literary distinction, aiming to present in a simple way some true conception of the more important phases of the township's life. No apology is made for the task being undertaken by one not born within the bounds of the township. Had some one of Pickering's sons undertaken it - and she has many who could have done the work well - I should have rejoiced, and gladly taken what place I might among his assistants. But none volunteered and the hour of the century's close was about to strike, - and I have made what attempt I could.

The Trail of Love by W. D. Flatt Pdf

Excerpt from The Trail of Love: An Appreciation of Canadian Pioneers, and Pioneer Life The time and place of one's birth have more influence on our own lives and on those of others than most of us imagine. It was my good fortune to be born of parents who hewed their home out of the Canadian wil derness, and to spend my early years among the pioneers of Wentworth and Halton Counties in the Province of Ontario, the simplicity and honesty of whose lives has been steadfastly engraved upon my memory. As a result, it is perhaps only natural that a most persistent call has come to me to record in a way that will be imperishable a few of the virtues of these honest and upright lives. Were it not for my great love for my father and mother and the men and women of their generation, and did I not believe that a record of some of the events of those noble lives would be an inspiration to the young people of our land, I would not have undertaken the preparation of this volume.

Pioneers in Canada (Classic Reprint) by Harry Johnston Pdf

Excerpt from Pioneers in Canada The publishers of this book asked me to write a series of works for the reading of boys and girls which should deal with "real adventures," in parts of the world either wild and uncontrolled by any civilized government, or at any rate regions full of dangers, of wonderful discoveries; in which the daring and heroism of white men (and sometime of white women) stood out clearly against backgrounds of unfamiliar landscapes, peopled with strange nations, savage tribes, dangerous beasts, or wonderful birds. These books would again and again illustrate the first coming of the white race into regions inhabited by people of a different type, with brown, black, or yellow skins; how the European was received, and how he treated these races of the soil which gradually came under his rule owing to his superior knowledge, weapons, wealth, or powers of persuasion. The books were to tell the plain truth, even if here and there they showed the white man to have behaved badly, or if they revealed the fact that the American Indian, the Negro, the Malay, the black Australian was sometimes cruel and treacherous.
