Summary "Roughing It in the Bush" by Susanna Moodie is a historical account likely written in the mid-19th century, reflecting on the author’s experiences as an emigrant in Canada. The book chronicles Moodie's journey from Britain to Canada, capturing the challenges and hardships faced by many emigrants during that time, as well as the stark contrasts between their expectations and the harsh realities of colonial life. The opening of "Roughing It in the Bush" sets the tone for the narrative by introducing the backdrop of emigration to Canada amidst a cholera epidemic. Moodie describes her arrival at Grosse Isle, where she and fellow passengers face the grim reality of quarantine measures. Through vivid descriptions, she depicts the chaotic scene as sick and healthy emigrants navigate the challenges of disembarkation while being assessed for disease. The narrative captures her deep longing for home and the beauty of the Canadian landscape, juxtaposed with the harshness of the emigrant experience, setting the stage for her reflections on the pursuit of a better life in a new world.
