Thomas Conant, from a family settled in Upper Canada since Loyalist days, gathers the stories, legends and traditions of pioneer life in what is now Ontario: clearing the land, frontier hardship, old settlers’ recollections and country customs such as the kissing games of rural parties. The sketches grew from his letters to the press.
A warm, anecdotal record of Ontario’s early settlers for local historians and anyone with Canadian roots. Download the free EPUB.
