Much to Be Done: Private Life in Ontario from Victorian Diaries - Hoffman, Frances; Taylor, Ryan

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Victorian Ontario included people from all walks of life from homeless beggars to wealthy gentry. In this book we glimpse how life was lived in 19th-century Ontario, not only in the grand mansions, but in the farm houses and streets where our ancestors lived. This publication could be your great-grandmother's story, following the cycle of life from courtship to childbirth to celebration and death. Diaries, with some contributions from letters, newspapers and reminiscences, provide a fresh and contemporary viewpoint. Much to be Done promotes a historical understanding which links people of today with the Ontario of the past.
