Description |
This book was written in 1903 by David Kennedy, an early pioneer who settled on the banks of the Saugeen River, 12 miles up from Southampton, Bruce County, Ontario. It contains excellent historical information of the Saugeen and Elderslie Township vicinities and the Saugeen River, as well as the experiences of an early settler migrating to the area. From the Preface "To the reader: The writer of this book would call your attention to three things: first, the contents are actual experiences and conditions which are in no way colored or embellished; second that there is no pretense to literary excellence, and third, that it is written that the reader may see the great strides of progress made in one generation and not forget the pioneer days of our great country." |
