Elizabeth Simcoe's diary, describing Canada from 1791 to 1796, is
history written as it was being made. Created largely while she was
seated in canoes and bateaux, the diary documents great events in a
familiar way and opens our eyes to a side of Canadian history that
is too little shown. During her time in Upper Canada (now Ontario),
Mrs. Simcoe encountered fascinating figures, such a explorer,
Alexander Mackenzie, and Mohawk Chief, Joseph Brant. She took
particular interest in the First Nations people, the social customs
of the early settlers, and the flora and fauna of a land that
contained a mere 10, 000 non-Natives in 1791. The realm she
observed so vividly was quite alien to a woman used to a world of
ball gowns, servants, and luxury in England, but the
lieutenant-governor's wife was made of stern stuff and embraced her
new environment with relish, leaving us with an account instilled
with excitement and delight at everything she witnessed.
