Opis

Early Settlers in Ontario, Canada is a narrative that describes the everyday life of the Hogg, Ramsay, and Breimer families as they settled and raised families during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in 1873, Wilhelmine, usually called "Billie," sets down some history of the Hogg family in Scotland before they emigrated to Canada. Most of the book is devoted to her early years in Parry Sound on Georgian Bay. Finally she tells of her education as a nurse in Chicago, her marriage, and her family's move to Florida in 1914. The text has been left virtually as set down in 1938. New pages, typewritten on yellowed sheets, were found later and have been added to this new edition of her memoirs.
