About This Item
Toronto: Natural Heritage Books, 2004. pp.207. Trade Paperback. New augmented edition by Scott D. Shipman. VERY GOOD copy, some shelf wear, otherwise a clean, bright copy. Signed by author.
"Frederick de la Fosse's richly descriptive, elegantly penned and delightfully humorous memoir captures that period of life when he, and other young Englishmen of means, came to northern Muskoka in the late 1870s to acquire agricultural skills. Known locally as "English bloods" these young lads encountered the realities of pioneer life in this beautiful but not agriculturally-friendly land." (from back cover)
