Excerpt from Colin of the Ninth Concession a Tale of Scottish Pioneer Life in Eastern OntarioWith the downfall of Napoleon, the mighty tempest that had begun with the French Revolution subsided and died away into a period of calm, but its effects were far-reaching. Into the vast, unbroken forest that lay for thousands of miles westward and northward from the Ottawa River, unpeopled save by a few wandering Algonquins, it had borne onwards a little colony of Scottish immigrants disbanded soldiers from Welling ton's armies and a number of their friends and neigh bours, accompanied by their families. They set out to make a home for themselves in a land where they would be the owners of their own farmsteads, Enter ing the primeval forest, they selected their acres of trees and set to work to hew out a clearing and to plant their grain and garden seeds among the stumps. To the pioneers in other parts of the forest this dis triot became known as the Scotch Settlement. It forms to-day several townships in the eastern portion of the Canadian province of Ontario.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
