AUTHOR'S PREFACE This history has been appearing serially through the Lindsaj "Watchman-Warder" for the past eleven months and is now issued in book form for the first time. The occasion for its preparation is, of course, the one hundredth anniversary of the opening up of Victoria county. Its chief purposes are four in number: — (1) to place on record the local details of pioneer life that are fast passing into oblivion; (2) to instruct the present generation of school-children in the ori- gins and development of the social system in which they live; (3) to show that the form which our county's development has taken has been largely determined by physiographical, racial, social, and economic forces; and (4) to demonstrate how we may, after a scien- tific study of these forces, plan for the evolution of a higher eco- nomic and social order. The difficulties of the work have been prodigious. A Victoria County Historical Society, formed twenty years ago for a similar purpose, found the field so sterile that it disbanded, leaving no re- cords behind. Under such circumstances, I have had to dig deep.

  • The Fur Trade of the Western Great Lakes Region
    THE FUR TRADE OF THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION IN 1685 THE BARON DE LAHONTAN wrote that ^^ Canada subsists only upon the Trade of Skins or Furrs, three fourths of which come from the People that live round the great Lakes." ^ Long before tbe little French colony on tbe St. Lawrence outgrew Its swaddling clothes the savage tribes­ men came in their canoes, bringing with them the wealth of the western forests. In the Ohio Valley the British fur trade rested upon the efficacy of the pack horse; by the use of canoes on the lakes and river systems of the West, the red men delivered to New France furs from a country unknown to the French. At first the furs were brought to Quebec; then Montreal was founded, and each summer a great fair was held there by order of the king over the water. Great flotillas of western Indians arrived to trade with the Europeans. A similar fair was held at Three Rivers for the northern Algonquian tribes. The inhabitants of Canada constantly were forming new settlements on the river above Montreal, says Parkman, ... in order to intercept the Indians on their way down, drench them with brandy, and get their furs from them at low rates in ad­ vance of the fair. Such settlements were forbidden, but not pre­ vented. The audacious " squatter" defied edict and ordinance and the fury of drunken savages, and boldly planted himself in the path of the descending trade. Nor is this a matter of surprise; for he was usually the secret agent of some high colonial officer.^ Upon arrival in Montreal, all furs were sold to the com­ pany or group of men holding the monopoly of the fur trade from the king of France.

  • THE 1866 FENIAN RAID on CANADA WEST: a Study Of
    ` THE 1866 FENIAN RAID ON CANADA WEST: A Study of Colonial Perceptions and Reactions Towards the Fenians in the Confederation Era by Anthony Tyler D’Angelo A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2009 Copyright © Anthony Tyler D’Angelo, 2009 Abstract This thesis examines Canada West’s colonial perceptions and reactions towards the Fenian Brotherhood in the Confederation era. Its focus is on the impact of the Fenians on the contemporary public mind, beginning in the fall of 1864 and culminating with the Fenian Raid on the Niagara frontier in June 1866. Newspapers, sermons, first-hand accounts, and popular poems and books from the time suggest the Fenians had a significant impact on the public mind by nurturing and reflecting the province’s social and defensive concerns, and the Raid on Canada West was used by contemporaries after the fact to promote Confederation and support a young Canadian identity. ii Writing a thesis is sometimes fun, often frustrating and always exacting, but its completion brings a satisfaction like no other. I am grateful to Queen’s University and the Department of History for giving me the opportunity to pursue this study; its completion took far longer than I thought, but the lessons learned were invaluable. I am forever indebted to Dr. Jane Errington, whose patience, knowledge, guidance and critiques were as integral to this thesis as the words on the pages and the sources in the bibliography. I cannot imagine steering the murky waters of historiography and historical interpretation without her help.

Tefferv! THE DAY OF SIR JOHN MACDONALD A Chronicle of the First Prime Minister of the Dominion BY SIR JOSEPH POPE K. C. M. G. TORONTO GLASGOW, BROOK & COMPANY 1915 PREFATORY NOTE WITHINa short time will be celebrated the centenary of the birth of the great statesman who, half a century ago, laid the foundations and, for almost twenty years, guided the destinies of the Dominion of Canada. Nearly a like period has elapsed since the author's Memoirs of Sir John Macdonald was published. That work, appearing as it did little more than three years after his death, was necessarily subject to many limitations and restrictions. As a connected story it did not profess to come down later than the year 1873, nor has the time yet arrived for its continuation and completion on the same lines. That task is probably reserved for other and freer hands than mine. At the same time, it seems desirable that, as Sir John Macdonald's centenary approaches, there should be available, in convenient form, a short r6sum6 of the salient features of his vii viii SIR JOHN MACDONALD career, which, without going deeply and at length into all the public questions of his time, should present a familiar account of the man and his work as a whole, as well as, in a lesser degree, of those with whom he was intimately associated.

  • CRAIGLEITH in the MIDDLE 1600S
    −1− CRAIGLEITH IN THE MIDDLE 1600s Charles Garrad January 2012 INTRODUCTION For a short time in the seventeenth century, probably most of the twenty years from the early 1630s until 1650 A.D.., Craigleith was a busy place. Although it was not directly attacked, its inhabitants were involved in war, rebellion, diseases, famine, local and international politics, and loss of trade, all of which resulted in such a total disruption of their way of life that early in 1650 they abandoned the Blue Mountain area and moved away to south-western Ontario, from which they had originally come within a life-time, beginning a treck that finds their descendants today principally in Kansas and Oklahoma, with a few in the Detroit Valley.. The modern evidence of this activity is the three registered archaeological sites a short distance inland at Craigleith. Plater-Martin BdHb-1 is the remains of a substantial principal village which was occupied from the early 1630s to 1650. Plater-Fleming BdHb-2 is a smaller subsidiary village which functioned as an outlying suburb of the larger village. Goodchild BdHb-3 is the cemetery for the Plater-Fleming village. It was discovered in 1968 when John Goodchild excavated for a basement for his new house. The corresponding cemetery for Plater-Martin has not yet been found and is presumably on the part of the property that has never been ploughed. Human burials and scattered bones not in cemeteries have been found on both village sites. Both villages belonged to the Deer Tribe of the Wyandot Nation. The Deer was one of two tribes that the French collectively nicknamed Nation du Petun, meaning Tobacco Nation.

  • Toronto's Provincial Lunatic Asylum in Context, 1830–1882
    “The world outside these walls”: Toronto’s Provincial Lunatic Asylum in Context, 1830–1882 Maximilian Smith A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Programme in History York University Toronto, Ontario September 2019 © Maximilian Smith, 2019 Abstract This dissertation explores the place of Toronto’s Provincial Lunatic Asylum within the broader social, cultural, and political landscape of nineteenth-century Ontario (Upper Canada). The development of the asylum in Upper Canada was one part of a broader institutional reform movement intended to codify, segregate, and rehabilitate the province’s criminals, lunatics, and other social deviants. I argue that the lunatic asylum was fundamentally shaped by its place within this broader institutional suite. At once a medical, political, and social space, the asylum was mobilized by various individuals and associations to serve a variety of interests. The Provincial Lunatic Asylum was a liminal institution. Its value as a resource for the growing Upper Canadian medical profession, its place within entrenched systems of partisan patronage, and its status as a charitable public institution ensured that the fate of the lunatic asylum was tied to the life of the province. By situating the asylum within its broader social, political, and cultural contexts, this study enhances our understanding of the role of public institutions like the asylum in the early formation of the Canadian state. Moreover, this study sheds light on the intricate connections between lunacy care and the everyday life of Upper Canadians from many social and cultural backgrounds.

It was a remarkable one not only for the two provinces of Canada, but for every foot of territory in America over which floats the British flag . It proved a great turning-point in, our 'history, for a series of political events took place pregnant with imlxortancè to the whole I?mpire, and which reflccted the highest credit on the statesmen and statesmanship not only of 4lpper and Lower Canada, but of all the other British provinces on this continent. Nevcrtheless, the outlook could hardly, have been gloomier than when Parliament again met on the 19th February. The deadlock in the Legislatüre between the two provins was now almost absolute. The Macdonald-llorion Government had only 4 majority-of one or two, and no important legislatio n was possible .
