Traill, along with her husband, journeyed to Canada in 1832 to homestead on land near Peterborough, Ontario. It was very difficult time for these people who had been raised in gentile society and now found themselves isolated in the bush doing work they were not familiar with or prepared to do. Traill's sister, Susanna Moodie made the same trip to the same area in the same year. Moodie's account of those years in the bush was more bleak while Traill always maintained a positive view of her life as a pioneer in the wilderness. This brief biography is aimed at young adults to encourage them to peruse the original works of these two women. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Life should have been easy for Catharine Parr Traill. She grew up at the beginning of the nineteenth century in a big rambling country house in England with five sisters and two brothers, spending her days embroidering, reading Latin and Shakespeare, being cared for by servants and exploring the countryside. But things changed suddenly when the family business failed and her father died. For awhile Catharine wrote children's books to help earn money for the family. But eventually, like many others, she sailed to the New World to make a new life with her husband, Thomas Traill. Despite a long voyage on board a crowded ship and succumbing to cholera, she eventually made it to Ontario in 1832. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
