Pioneer Life Among The Loyalists In Upper Canada
Walter Stevens Herrington
Read 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.“ - Summary by Book preface and david wales (1 hr 48 min)

Reviews
this opened my eyes to a different history!

as an USAmerican. I had never considered that some people actually wanted to stay loyal to England. I stumbled upon this book which was well written and VERY WELL READ. I love how UPPER CANADA is the portion of Canada just a few miles from me. (actually South of LOWER Canada.) Pioneer life is one thing, But Pioneer life up here in the FREEZING cold and the long, dark winters gives me a huge dose of respect for my foreneighbors. I am moving on to related works.
