The full title of this book is The Backwoods of Canada: Being the Letters of the Wife of an Emigrant Officer, Illustrative of the Domestic Economy of British America. It was first published, in the UK, in 1836. This is a facsimile reprint. Catharine Parr Traill (1802-1899) was a successful English writer when she married a British officer who, in 1832, was posted to Canada. She was wholly unprepared for the struggles they endured while establishing themselves in the vast, still unexplored, wilderness. But she remained positive and upbeat, wrote many letters to her mother about her experiences, and they became this book. The book was meant to serve as guidance and advice for other immigrants, but it became a best-seller, and a classic, of both social history and nature writing. This is a trade paperback, 351 pages with many illustrations. It has one dogear, on page 19. Unread after that. It is otherwise perfect.PLEASE NOTE: THE STATED EXPECTED SHIPPING DATE APPLIES ONLY WITHIN NORTH AMERICA.… Leer más
