Roughing it in the bush, or, Life in Canada1884

"In 1832, Susanna Moodie, her husband, and her daughter immigrated to Canada from England in search of financial independence. In Roughing It in the Bush, Moodie recounts the seven and a half years the family spent pioneering in the unsettled Canadian backwoods. The text reprinted in this Norton Critical Edition is the second English edition, of July 1852, chosen because it corrects errors in the first edition and adds selected material by Moodie that was not included in the first edition."--BOOK JACKET.
