Recording of Pioneer Life
Among The Loyalists In Upper Canada by Walter Stevens Herrington. Read in
English by David Wales
What became of the citizens
who remained loyal to the Crown when the thirteen British colonies rebelled
against England – and won! These Loyalists suffered discrimination and
persecution in the nation aborning. Thousands of them left their homes for
England; other thousands left for Canada and other British colonies. This
book is about the Loyalists who settled in Upper Canada. “To present a
picture of the early settlements of Ontario and enter into the daily life of
the pioneers is a most fascinating task…. in our search for information
concerning the evolution of the homestead, and the customs and peculiarities
of the common folk of long ago.“ -
