Publisher's Synopsis
""A Lady's Life On A Farm In Manitoba"" is a memoir written by Mrs. Cecil Hall about her experiences living on a farm in Manitoba, Canada during the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed account of the challenges and rewards of rural life, including the harsh climate, the hard work required to maintain a farm, and the close-knit community that developed among the settlers. Mrs. Hall writes about her daily routines, her interactions with her neighbors, and the various animals and crops that were raised on the farm. She also discusses the impact of political and economic changes on the region, including the influx of new settlers and the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Overall, ""A Lady's Life On A Farm In Manitoba"" offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and the experiences of a pioneering woman in the Canadian West.It is not easy to sit down and write after forty-eight hours travelling, as we have been doing since leaving Denver on Monday night at 7 o'clock; but in such scenery and air so exhilarating we do not feel as tired as we expected. You should have seen the omnibus, stage-coach, charridon, or any other name you please to give the lumbering vehicle in which we performed our last twelve hours' drive; it looked truly frightening when it drove up to Cimarron depot, one tent, last night, to pick us up, intended for twenty passengers and any amount of luggage, and swung on great straps. It was wonderfully well horsed, and we changed our teams every ten miles; but only then came at the rate of five miles an hour.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
