Reminiscences of a Canadian Pioneer for the Last Fifty Years
An Autobiography (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Canadian Pioneer for the Last Fifty Years: An Autobiography T was in consequence of a suggestion by the late S. J. Watson, Librarian of the Ontario Legisla ture - who urged that one who had gone through so many experiences of early Canadian history as my self, ought to put the same on record - that I first thought of writing these Reminiscences, a portion of which appeared in the Canadian Monthly Maga zine. For the assistance which has enabled me to complete and issue this volume, I am obliged to the kind support of those friends who have subscribed for its publication; for which they will please ao cept my grateful thanks.
In the space at my disposal, I have necessarily been compelled to give little more than a gossiping narrative of events coming under my own observa tion. But I have been careful to verify every state ment of which I was not personally cognizant; and to avoid everything of a controversial character; as well as to touch gently on those faults of public men which I felt obliged to notice.
