History of the settlement of Upper Canada (Ontario,) with special reference to the Bay Quinté

"History of the Settlement of Upper Canada (Ontario)" by William Canniff is a historical study that tells the story of the early days of what is now Ontario, with a close eye on the Bay of Quinté area. Canniff uses his own knowledge and research skills to piece together a detailed record of how the province came to be, celebrating the people who made it happen. The book starts by looking at why it is essential to keep track of history, boosted by events such as the formation of the Upper Canada Historical Society. It looks at Canniff's personal ties to the region and the hard work he put in to collect real facts. Important people from Canada's early days, like Jacques Cartier and Samuel Champlain, are brought up for their roles in finding and settling Canada, setting the stage for a broad and careful look at Upper Canada's past.
