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.

Peter Hvidsten 1 PORT PERRY’S FLOATING BRIDGE The first bridge to link Port Perry with Scugog Island was ricketty, unstable, and unreliable, but it was agreed by all, that the floating bridge was better than no bridge at all.

This all changed when William Purdy constructed a dam at what is now Lindsay. Purdy entered into an agreement with the government to build a saw mill and a grist mill on the Scugog River. Purdy’s dam and the saw mill were completed by September, 1828. The water eventually filled the millpond to capacity in April, 1829.

  • Cobourg, for Example, and the Mem- Bers of the Family Compact at York, and Later, Toronto-Could Begin to Think of Recreational Needs on a More Sophisticated Level
    co THE SUMMER RESORTS OF ONTARIO IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY By Roy 1. Wolfe I In the early decades of the nineteenth century, when settlement in Upper Canada was still in the frontier era, the back country, a few miles inland from the Lower Lakes, was still wilderness. This was pioneer country, and there could be as yet no thought of using land for recreation, 1 while the land itself had to be tamed. The rural settlers had two chief sources of enjoyment-liquor and religion. The former was in good supply (Anna Jameson in 1837 was struck by the vast number of taverns that lined the road between Toronto and Lake Simcoe) but it would be many years before there was a direct relation between liquor and the summer re~QJ Exactly the reverse was true of religion: if in recent years there seems to have been little connection between religion and the summer resort, in the beginning it was very close., The most enjoyable religious ceremony the settlers knew was the Methodist camp-meeting, which sup- plemented the work of itinerant preachers, and reached its fullest de- velopment in the 1820~s.The excitement of the camp-meeting, the hysteria and violent conversions/ had an emotional appeal that nothing else could bring to the barren lives of the isolated settlers. Not only the religious came, but those of few religious convictions,3 who derived enjoyment from the spectacle. Camp-meetings lasted as long as a week, and people stayed in tents at the camping-grounds, which thus came to have the appearance of many future summer resorts.
