Making It Home

As a pioneer in Canada in the early 1800s, Catharine Parr Traill was one of the first writes to record the Ontario wilderness in literary and scientific detail, and her stories for young people became part of a new focus on young people. Her books on emigration encouraged other pioneers who struggled with life in a new country. Catharine was a natural storyteller who loved to write. This biography shows how an English girl called Katie became an adult who gave so much to North America's early literature.
