The three sisters, Agnes, Elizabeth and Catherine Strickland had literary careers, but Catherine, the youngest, was first into print. In 1826, Canada was not her horizon, except as an exotic setting for this improving volume - 'lessons of mental firmness, piety and industry.' But in 1832 she did emigrate to Canada, where she played significant role in the development of a Canadian pioneer literature. 'Many of the scenes and events contained in [The Young Emigrants], are communicated to the writer by the member of a very amiable family, who emigrated to America in 1821' (Preface).
