Twilight Hour

by Susanna Moodie

‘Roughing It in the Bush’ is a collection of Susanna Moodie's personal accounts of her experiences as a young Englishwoman who immigrated to Canada in the 1830s. She vividly recounts the challenges and hardships of pioneering life in the Canadian wilderness, including the difficulties of farming, the harsh climate, and the conflicts with native peoples. Moodie's honest and often humorous observations provide a valuable window into the realities of early colonial life in Canada.
