A Lady's Life on a Farm in Manitoba

"A Lady's Life on a Farm in Manitoba" by M. G. C. (Mary Georgina Caroline) Hall is a memoir that tells about one family's tough move to start a farm in Manitoba during the late 1800s. Told through letters, the story follows a woman's journey as she and her family leave their comfortable life in England to face the hard work and unpredictable weather of the Canadian prairie. From a rough trip across the ocean to the busy streets of New York City, the author shares her excitement and worries about building a new home. She describes the people she meets, the friendships they form, and the many problems they face. As the family adjusts to their new life, the book shows their strength and how they change from city people to farmers working hard for their land and new life.
