About This Item

Bloomington, Indiana: AuthorHouse, 2006. 226 pp, 9" H. B&w photographs, maps, reproductions. "(D)ocuments an English family's 1835 immigration to Ontario where they became pioneers in the unsettled bush. The parents of this family just happen to be the author's great great grandparents, Joseph and Susannah Bacon. The letters were written from Bruce County, Ontario in 1881 and 1882 by Joseph, some years after Susannah's death, to his son and daughter-in-law, Henry and Elizabeth Couch Bacon, then in Resort Township, Emmet County, Michigan. Part 1 (of this book) has copies of the original letters with 'printed as written' and edited versions annotated to explain what and who Joseph was writing about. Part II is a narrative of the family in England where eight of the eleven children were born, about their immigration and their pioneering in the unsettled Ontario wilderness, first in Arthur Township, Waterloo/Wellington counties and finally in Brant Township, Bruce County. Also included are short synopses of their eleven children. Part III is a three generation modified register genealogy of the family documented with primary source references." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - one tiny corner crease on the front cover.. Not Signed. First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good+.
