About This Item
This is the 1846 reprint of the book oriiginally published in 1832. It contains two titles: "The Backwoods of Canada..." by Cathrine Parr Strickland Traill (243 pages), and "The Oregon Territory..." by Rev. C. G. Nicolay (226 pages). It has been rebound in leather and is in excellent condition. The cover is 'like new' except for a bump at the front top edge. The pages are predominantly without marks, tears or folds. Some light to moderate foxing on relatively few pages. The exception is the "Backwoods..." title page which is loose, stained, has a small tear, and a library name impressed on the page. There are 12 high quality engravings throughout "Backwood..". We found two [one a map] in "The Oregon Terratory.." that are also in excellent condition.
Catherine Parr Trail was an English/Canadian auther and naturalist who wrote about life in Canada. She wrote 24 books covering topics ranging from her life as a settler in Ontario to natural history, especially botany. Traill is considered a pioneer of Canada's natural history.
