The Immigrant Letters of Frances Stewart
Edited by Jodi Aoki
Frances Stewart arrived in Upper Canada from Ireland in 1822, with her husband, three children, and two servants, and settled in Douro Township on the shore of the Otonabee River in 1823. Spanning three-quarters of a century, her letters represent the immigrant experience of one of the first pioneer woman to the Peterborough, Ontario, area. Included are full transcripts of the extant collection and several letters possibly not available earlier. The Introduction is comprehensive in scope, providing historical context for the letters.
