Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an expansion on an earlier two-volume set, delves into the backwoods of Nova Scotia, Canada, during the mid-19th century. The author provides an engaging narrative focused on the lives of backwoodsmen and the details of their everyday experience, particularly their struggles with plagues of flies and unreliable hired help. The author shares their journey, explaining how these challenges were offset by the freedom and pleasures of backwoods life such as fishing, hunting, and skating. Their experiences are set against the rise of the lumber industry, which disrupted the existing hardwood ecosystem and brought environmental changes to the region. The author also provides a comparative analysis of the relative advantages and disadvantages of living in the clearings versus the backwoods, providing the reader with a well-rounded glimpse into life in these unique and rugged communities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
