description: Roughing It In The Bush is a memoir written by Susanna Moodie, a British author who immigrated to Canada in the 1830s. The book is a vivid account of her experiences as a settler in the Canadian wilderness, where she and her family struggled to make a living in the harsh and unforgiving environment. Moodie's writing is both entertaining and informative, as she shares her observations and insights into the challenges of pioneer life. She describes the difficulties of clearing land, building a home, and growing crops, as well as the dangers posed by wild animals and harsh weather conditions. In addition to her personal experiences, Moodie also provides a historical perspective on the early days of Canadian settlement, including the interactions between settlers and indigenous peoples. She also touches on issues such as gender roles and the challenges of maintaining cultural identity in a new land. Overall, Roughing It In The Bush is a fascinating and engaging account of one woman's journey into the unknown, and a valuable historical document that sheds light on the realities of pioneer life in Canada.Nature has lavished all her grandest elements to form this astonishing panorama. There frowns the cloud-capped mountain, and below, the cataract foams and thunders; wood, and rock, and river combine to lend their aid in making the picture perfect, and worthy of its Divine Originator.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
