Letters from Muskoka

"Letters from Muskoka" by Charles Gerrard King is a series of heartfelt letters capturing one family's courageous adventure as they leave their home in France after a war and journey to start a new life as farmers in Muskoka, Ontario, in the late 1800s. The letters tell of both the sadness of saying goodbye to everything they knew and the tough realities of settling in a wild, new place, from long, hard trips across the ocean to facing unpredictable weather, all while building a home and a future. Through these personal stories, readers gain a real sense of what it was like to embrace the challenges and rewards of being a pioneer in the Canadian wilderness, filled with both heartache and humor.
