Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketch of the Life and Times of Joseph Curran Morrison and Angus Morrison: Presidents of St. Andrew's Society, 1850-54
In the year 1832, ever memorable in English history for the passing of the Reform Bill, emigration to Canada from the mother country greatly increased. In that year emigrants came to our shores from the Old Country, but cholera broke out, many died in sight of the promised land after crossing the Atlantic in sailing vessels and spending many weeks on the voyage. The ravages of that dreadful epidemic are described by Mrs. Moodie in Roughing it in the Bush, pp. 65-66.
