This book was originally Section III in Early Life in Upper Canada, which was published in 1933. It deals with various aspects of early pioneer life in the province of Ontario, Canada; some chapters include: "The Pioneer Home," "Food and Cooking," "Lumbering," and "Pioneer Sports--Curling". The book is intended for a general readership and its text is therefore quite lucid. In total, there are 216 pages and a number of illustrations depicting the various aspects of pioneer life discussed.
