Book Description
Excerpt from A Visit to the Province of Upper Canada, in 1819We now perceived vast chains of mountains on the north, covered with snow: the scenery was grand and terrific; but their distance was so great, as not to present any alteration to the eye, from our approaching near the shore.In this part of the river there is great difficulty and, to prevent accidents, every ship is obliged to have a pilot. This has, like all other good rules, been to many a cause of complaint, who pretend that they can direct the ship's course better than the pilots sent on board. But such complaints only prove that the best intentioned measures are cen sured, and that some persons cannot be satisfied. That the ships should be all obliged to employ men experienced in, the navigation of the river is just, not only to insure the safety of the vessel, but to enable trinity-house to support such a number of pilots as may supply every demand the loss of one or two vessels would be much more than the price of pilotage for several years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Transatlantic Upper Canada
Author: Kevin HutchingsPublisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0228002664
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
Literature emerging from nineteenth-century Upper Canada, born of dramatic cultural and political collisions, reveals much about the colony's history through its contrasting understandings of nature, ecology, deforestation, agricultural development, and land rights. In the first detailed study of literary interactions between Indigenous people and colonial authorities in Upper Canada and Britain, Kevin Hutchings analyzes the period's key figures and the central role that romanticism, ecology, and environment played in their writings. Investigating the ties that bound Upper Canada and Great Britain together during the early nineteenth century, Transatlantic Upper Canada demonstrates the existence of a cosmopolitan culture whose implications for the land and its people are still felt today. The book examines the writings of Haudenosaunee leaders John Norton and John Brant and Anishinabeg authors Jane Johnston Schoolcraft, Peter Jones, and George Copway, as well as European figures John Beverley Robinson, John Strachan, Anna Brownell Jameson, and Sir Francis Bond Head. Hutchings argues that, despite their cultural differences, many factors connected these writers, including shared literary interests, cross-Atlantic journeys, metropolitan experiences, mutual acquaintance, and engagement in ongoing dialogue over Indigenous territory and governance. A close examination of relationships between peoples and their understandings of land, Transatlantic Upper Canada creates a rich portrait of the nineteenth-century British Atlantic world and the cultural and environmental consequences of colonialism and resistance.
