Somewhat difficult to read. Produced by E.D. (Tedd) Brien "The Backwoods of Canada" by Catharine Parr Strickland Traill is a collection of letters written in the early 19th century, documenting the experiences of an emigrant officer's wife. The narrative focuses on her journey from Britain to Canada and the subsequent challenges and observations she encounters as settlers in the Canadian backwoods. The opening of the book begins with a detailed introduction where the author expresses her intent to provide practical insights into the domestic life of a settler in Canada, particularly for women who will be responsible for managing households in a new and often challenging environment. She reflects on her departure from Greenock aboard the brig "Laurel," describing the monotony of sea travel and the evolving sights and experiences as they approach Newfoundland. Traill's letters reveal her observations of the natural beauty of the Canadian landscape while also preparing readers for the hardships ahead, setting the stage for her transition into life as a settler in the unfamiliar wilderness.
