About This Item
Toronto: Natural Heritage Books/Dundurn Group, 2008. pp.421 Trade Paperback. VERY GOOD copy, minor shelf wear, clean unmarked interior.
"Many nineteenth-century writers highlighted the difficulties recent immigrants faced - the clearing of forest and the breaking of new ground, the isolation and long Canadian winters - and emphasized what they perceived to be the negative, alienating influences of Ontario's rapid urban and industrial expansion. In pioneer's domination over nature, the establishment of thriving communities, and the extension of transportation networks. William Wye Smith, a popular nineteenth-century Upper Canadian poet, was no exception." (from back cover)
