    Nursing in Alberta

    of Service 'Ghe 1Cistor~ of .'nursing in Albert~ THE UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY LIBRARY j-{eritage of Service 'Ghe '}(isto11J of '11ursin3 in Alberta 'J-(eritage of Service 'Ghe j-HstorH of 'nursing in Alberta TONY CASHMAN Published by The Alberta Association of Registered Nurses Printed by Commercial Printers Limited Edmonton, Alberta Introduction This book has hundreds of authors, about six hundred I would think. If you can stand one more paraphrase of Mr. Churchill's resounding comment of 1940: Never in the history of Alberta has so much original research been done by so many. It started about the time of the Churchill remark. The Al­ berta Association of Registered Nurses was then gathering material for the book Three Centuries of Caruidian Nursing. Miss Birtles' diaries were brought to light at this time. Marion Moodie was prevailed upon to write her fascinating memoirs of Calgary General in the 1890's. So much material was gathered that Kate Shaw Brighty, then president of the AARN, engaged Eugenie Myles to put it together and it was mimeographed - they couldn't afford to print it - under the title A History of Nursing in Alberta. Margaret Fraser brought in some more things in the 1950's. The project was revived again in 1964 when local chapters of the AARN were asked to research the history of nursing in their own districts and the alumnae associations were asked to help retrace the progress of nursing education through the history of their own schools. Digging localized history is unsatisfying work. The results often seem trivial and disappointing and hardly worth the bother.

    Mary Gordon Copleston's Narrative

    Stretching a “Slender Purse” in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Ontario: Mary Gordon Copleston’s Narrative DENISE JACQUES* In 1861 Mary Gordon Copleston published Canada: Why We Live in it, and Why We Like it as a gentlewoman’s guide for new emigrants.Unravelling Copleston’s life-history and the narrative behind her book illustrates how the British middle class could make effective use of an imperial framework to maintain a standard of living. While Mary Copleston presented herself as a cultivated and adventurous Englishwoman, the story was more complex, and Copleston was both determined and ambitious in her effort to use the resources of an empire to furnish the life she sought. En 1861, Mary Gordon Copleston publiait Canada: Why We Live in it, and Why We Like it, ouvrage qui constituait le guide d’une femme distinguée à l’intention des nouveaux émigrants. La reconstitution de la vie de l’auteure et du discours derrière son livre montre comment la classe moyenne britannique parvenait à se servir efficacement d’un cadre impérial pour maintenir son niveau de vie. Mary Copleston se présentait certes comme une Anglaise cultivée et aventureuse, mais l’histoire était plus complexe, et Copleston était déterminée, et son souci d’utiliser les ressources d’un empire pour meubler la vie qu’elle tentait d’avoir témoignait de son ambition. IN 1861 MARY Gordon Copleston published Canada: Why We Live in it, and Why We Like it.1 While promoted in England as a gentlewoman’s guide for new emigrants, it was also a very personal memoir of Copleston’s then four years’ residence in Canada West.2 She intended her book to resemble closely Susanna * Denise Jacques is a retired Canadian Foreign Service Officer and received her PhD in 2010.

  • Nurse in the Northwest Rebellion

    Nurse in the Northwest Rebellion

    JOAN OF THE NORTHWEST Johanna ‘Joan’ Matheson (1842-1916) When, for the first time in Canadian history, nurses officially supported Canadian troops in the field, Joan Matheson of Perth, Ontario, was among that history-making contingent of 12 women caring for casualties of the 1885 Northwest Rebellion. Born at Gairloch, Ross-shire, Scotland, on May 20, 18421, Johanna ‘Joan’ Matheson was the daughter of Roderick Matheson (1796-1873) -- War of 1812 veteran, Perth merchant, member of the Legislative Council 1851-1867 and Dominion Senator 1867-1873.2 Her father had first married Mary Fraser (1802-1825) at Montréal in 1823 and following her death married Annabella Russell (1811-1854) during an 1830 visit to his home at Loch Carron, Ross-Shire. Annabella was the daughter of Rev. James Russell (1761-1844) and Isabella Munro Fraser (1781-1853) of Gairloch, Ross-Shire. Joan was born at the home of her maternal grandparents during a visit to Scotland3 by her mother; the only one of the 13 Matheson children4 not born at Perth, Ontario. Joan Matheson received her primary and secondary education at Perth and lived at Perth until 1881 when, at the age of 39 years, she enrolled at the Bellevue Hospital Training School for Nurses5 in New York City. The Bellevue school, opened in 1873, was only the second6 (secular) school of nursing established in the United States and the first based upon the principles and writing of Florence Nightingale. The first Canadian (secular) nursing school did not open until the following year, 1874, at General and Marine Hospital in St.
