Books, Maps & Other Resources  Ontario, Canada  (Upper Canada, Canada West) Concerns more than one County More Canadian Resources | More Ontario Resources BOOK - The Pioneers of Old Ontario, The Makers of Canada By W. L. Smith Originally published by George N. Morang, Toronto, 1923 This edition by Global Heritage Press, Milton, 2006 (CD 2010)
While engaged in that task, he "stumbled on a veritable storehouse of information of another kind altogether". This information was carried in the memories of men and women then still living-memories that went back to the days of the virgin forest, of log cabins surrounded by blackened stumps in the midst of scanty clearings, of bush trails and corduroy roads over which settlers toiled with their grists to distant mills, of old-time logging bees, and of the circuit riders who carried the Gospel message to those real heroes. Based on his research and interviews, Smith wrote a series of pioneer sketches which appeared in newspapers during the period from 1897 to 1914. These sketches, with some further information gathered at a later date, form the basis of what is contained in this volume. In 1922-1923, Smith assembled his first-hand accounts of pioneer life that he originally published in Ontario newspapers, added much new content, then organized the book by the areas of Ontario where events took place. Contents include:
