Excerpt from Roughing It in the Bush, or Forest Life in Canada The choice of the country to which they devote their talents and energies depends less upon their pecuniary means than upon the fancy of the emigrant or the popularity of a name. From the year I 826 to 1829, Australia and the Swan River were all the rage. NO other portions Of the habitable globe were deem ed worthy of notice. These were the El Doma'os and lands of Goshen to which all respectable emi grants eagerly flocked. Disappointment, as a/matter of course, followed their high-raised expectations. Many of the most sanguine of these adventurers returned to their native shores in a worse condi tion than when they left them. In 1830, the great tide of emigration flowed westward. Canada became the great landmark for the rich in hope and poor in purse. Public newspapers and privateletters teemed with the unheard-of advantages to be derived from a settlement in this highly-favoured region.
