Roughing It in the Bush is a raw and unflinching account of pioneer life in 19th century Canada. Susanna Moodie, an Englishwoman, paints a vivid picture of the harsh realities faced by settlers as they grapple with unforgiving wilderness, isolation, and the daunting task of building a new life. Prepare to be immersed in a world far removed from modern comforts, where survival is a daily struggle. Moodie's honest and often humorous narration offers a poignant glimpse into the trials and triumphs of those who dared to conquer the frontier.
'Life in the Backwoods' is a memoir written by Susanna Moodie, a British author who immigrated to Upper Canada (now Ontario, Canada) in the early 19th century. The book provides a vivid and often challenging portrayal of Moodie's experiences as a settler in the Canadian wilderness. She recounts the hardships, struggles, and triumphs of pioneer life, offering insights into the daily routines, relationships, and encounters with nature that defined her existence in the backwoods.
Originally published in 1852, Roughing It in the Bush by Susanna Moodie, with contributions from her husband John Wedderburn Dunbar Moodie, is a vibrant, humorous, and wry description of their arrival and life in the young country of Canada after their immigration in 1832, and settlement in the rugged backwoods of what is now Ontario-unimaginably difficult, but also breathtakingly beautiful by turns.
It is filled with hope and passion for the future that Canada may grow to fulfill, a song of hope for what may be built out of multi-cultural immigration.
This edition is the complete text of the original publication, including poems by Susanna, her brother, and her husband (J.W.D.M); and four chapters contributed by John W. D. Moodie.
