My great,great grandmother

I am a Leveridge in fact I am a great,great granddaughter to Anna.I grew up in Coe Hill Ont.I have spent a lot of time on the farm that Anna talks about.I am thrilled that this book is still available for purchase.

An inspirational look at life for early Ontario pioneers.

Our family has a cottage in the Coe Hill area, which is the setting for this book. I remember reading it as a child and being fascinated by the lives of the Leveridge family in the back woods of Ontario. Anna Leveridge's correspondence with various family members in England gives a unique look at her new life in 19th century Ontario. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in a first hand account of pioneer life in Ontario. If you visit the Coe Hill Ontario area, you can still find remains of her old homestead. I visited it 10 years ago and it made the book even more special to me.
