About This Item
Toronto: Burns & MacEachern. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1953. First Edition. Hardcover. "Two distinguished families, the Stewarts of Ireland and the Stricklands of England, members of which were the first settlers on the upper Otonabee River, gave to that district a character which makes it unique among early settlements. Probably no other district in all North America was so fortunate in the quality of the pioneers who fought the Battle of the Forest. For here the heroism that faced the hardships is found in rare alliance with gifts that make the written records they have left not merely true history but good literature. Professor Needler here presents a composite picture of the group. He has led up to the story of the pioneers by accounts of their beginnings in the Old World, and followed their later fortunes after victory or defeat in the bush. And the stirring events of the Canadian scene in which the Stewarts, the Stricklands, the Traills and the Moodies took part are frequently linked up interestingly with what was going on in the great world across the ocean." - dust jacket. [4],172 p. Map endpapers. List of sources. Several black and white plates including a grainy early map of Peterborough (1820-1840). Quite light wear and soiling to unmarked book tightly bound in forest green cloth. Light wear to dust jacket now protected in mylar.
