This visual biography takes an informative new look at two of this country's seminal writers, Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill. Containing two hundred colour and black-and-white images, some never-before published, the book chronicles the lives of two exceptional and inspirational women and captures a remarkable tapes-try of life in early Canada.

Their childhood was spent in a manor house in the Suffolk countryside. But in 1832 the aspiring young authors Susanna and Catharine crossed the Atlantic to embark on new lives, raising families in the strange and unfamiliar backwoods of Upper Canada. By the light of homemade candles, Susanna and Catharine wrote about their experiences, producing such enduring classics as Roughing it in the Bush and The Backwoods of Canada. Catharine’s

beautifully illustrated books on Canadian plants and wildfl owers were the fi rst of their kind.

Michael Peterman, author, and Canada’s foremost Moodie/Traill scholar is a profes-sor of English literature and Canadian Studies at Trent University, Peterborough and principle of Catharine Parr Traill College. Charlotte Gray who wrote the introduc-tion of the book, is one of the Country’s most popular writers of Canadian history including Sisters in the Wilderness: the Lives of Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill and Canada: A Portrait in Letters. Hugh Brewster, with photographer Ian Brewster has spent several years documenting places of signifi cance to the sisters and assembling a host of images and artifacts from museums, archives, and private collections. Sisters in Two Worlds is available at local bookstores.

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP Settlement of the township began in the late 1700’s and on February 14th, 1791 the township was offi cially named after Henry Hamilton, Lieutenant Governor of Quebec. “By land and water we fl ourish” is an expression of the Township’s history and ongoing character, as well as its motto.

The township has a rural charm and consists of six hamlets Baltimore, Bewdley, Camborne, Cold Springs, Gore’s Land-ing and Harwood. It is bounded on the north by the famous Rice Lake and to the south by Lake Ontario and the Town of Cobourg.

The township is surrounded by interesting historical attractions. There is a

Joseph Scriven Monument which recog-nizes Joseph Scriven who wrote the hymn, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”; Mount Ararat, the highest point of the Rice Lake plains and home in 1849 to early Canadian writer Catherine Parr Traill; the Cobourg-Peterborough Railroad Causeway that once crossed Rice Lake where partially submerged remains are still visible.

A visit to Hamilton Township offers an incredible diversity of attractions for visitors with Rice Lake being the main attraction appealing to fi shermen, nature lovers, water sports enthusiasts, and the many people who simply wish to get away, get some fresh air, sunshine and just relax.

COBOURG The historic community of Cobourg is situated on a sandy stretch of Lake Ontario shoreline. We invite you to relax and enjoy the rare combination of history, natural beauty and community spirit that make Cobourg such a charming and vibrant place. Originally settled in 1798 by United Empire Loyalists, the town of Cobourg has enjoyed a varied and colourful past, which has left a legacy of architectural grandeur and a strong sense of community.

THE COBOURG WATERFRONTCobourg’s spectacular waterfront can be enjoyed year-round. The Cobourg Marina is considered to be one of the best on the Great Lakes and boaters can enjoy a leisurely walk to fi ne stores and restaurants in the heritage downtown, just fi ve minutes from the marina. For added convenience bicycles are available to visiting boaters free of charge at the marina offi ce.

VICTORIA PARKBeautiful Victoria Park, adjacent to Heri-tage Harbour, is the venue for many sum-mer concerts and festivals including the

famous Waterfront Festival held over the Canada Day weekend: July 1–3, 2011. The park features acres of lawns, manicured fl owerbeds and a fl oral clock. There is a clean, sandy beach and families can spend memorable days swimming in the lake, the outdoor pool, or playing in the splash pad. There are playgrounds, miniature golf, and lawn bowling. During the Christmas season, Victoria Park is transformed into a winter wonderland with over 100,000 twinkling lights and displays.

VICTORIA HALLCobourg displays friendly small-town charm offering visitors a multitude of things to do and see, including the mag-nifi cent Victoria Hall considered to be one of Canada’s fi nest historic buildings. The hall boasts 41 rooms including the Old Bailey Courtroom, the Art Gallery of Northumberland and the Grand Concert Hall, a venue for many local musical and theatrical performances.

Start your visit to Cobourg at the Cobourg Tourism Information Offi ce, 212 King Street West, in Dressler House, birthplace of 1930’s Hollywood legend, Marie Dressler.



In 1825 Dr. John Gilchrist arrived in Otona-bee, having purchased land on the river from his wife’s uncle, Zaccheues Burnham, he hired local men to dig a canal a half-mile in length. This fed his grist mill, with one run of stones, plus a saw mill with a single up-right saw. By 1829 he had opened a store, a distillery, and with a partner, began to export square timber, logs and staves, and barrels were built for the rum trade in the West Indies. Homes were built for his workers. One remains today. His oldest son, Jonathan Gove Gilchrist, and a brother Jason, who lived in Keene until January 1835, when his young wife died, op-erated the mill. For many years the village that grew was called Gilchrist Mills. It was changed to Keene at the doctor’s request. Keene was suppos-edly his birthplace.

John Gilchrist was the son of Capt. Sam Gilchrist and wife Sarah Aitken, whose family of nine were born in Bed-ford, New Hampshire. Gilchrist studied medicine at Yale and Dartmouth, and came to Canada in 1818, and began to practice in Hamilton and Amherst. He had the distinction of receiving the fi rst license to practice as a doctor from the newly established Upper Canada Medical Board. On January 5th, 1819 he walked from Cobourg to Toronto and back to complete the examination. Medicine was the career of choice for his three brothers and a cousin. Gilchrist educated two of these brothers.

From 1818 to 1825 he lived in Ham-ilton Township, then moved to Keene to

farm and practice medicine, on lots 11 & 12, Con 6. The large frame house beside the present store was possibly built by the doctor. His wife Lucretia Gove died in Keene August 19th, 1847, and the 1851 census has son Jonathan Gove living in the home, part of which was a store. The cou-

ple had eight known children; daughter Margaret married Charles Perry, a wealthy Pe-terborough businessman, who died young leaving her with a large family. Perry Street in the city is named after him. Son Jonathan Gove is buried in Keene Lower Cemetery, the other children would seem to have moved to the Cobourg area. This fi rst mill burned, and was replaced by the large mill

that also burned in the mid 1950s and was dismantled in recent years.

John Gilchrist died in Port Hope September 15th, 1859. He was involved in the many developments of the time, and served as Justice of the Peace, as Coroner, practiced in Peterborough, and ran for the Legislative Assembly in 1834 and 1836, as a Reformer. In 1841 he was elected as a representative for the newly formed Colborne District, serving until 1845.

A Quaker in religion, he also displayed some Methodist sympathies. He is buried in Cobourg’s St. Peter’s Cemetery, with his brothers. The grave site is most unusual, made of cement, round in shape and about two feet in height and six feet in diameter. Obviously something rested on this base, the names are placed around the base, giving only the year of the deaths.

LOOKING BACK IN HISTORY D. Gayle Nelson



Many fi rsts are attributed to John Gilchrist, the fi rst mill, store, tavern, and Otonabee’s and Ontario’s fi rst physician. The Canadian Biographical Dictionary stated: “He was one of the best known men in this part of the Province, and as widely esteemed as known.” (Courtesy of the Keene Correspondent Newspaper)

The author has an enduring affection for her township. Upon her arrival in 1954 she found herself a member of one of Otona-

bee’s oldest families. She has been actively involved in her township but most notably, as the founding librarian of the township library. In 1975 she published the fi rst edition of “Forest to Farm: Early Days of Otonabee” and twenty –fi ve years later published an enlarged edition that provides insights into pioneer life in the township. The book is available at the Otonabee South Monaghan township library which is located in the village of Keene on the north shore of Rice Lake. Call (705) 295-6814.

ALNWICK/HALDIMAND TOWNSHIP

The amalgamated municipality of Alnwick/Haldimand is a favourite destination for boaters, fi shermen, and vacationers. The former Alnwick Township was incorpo-rated in 1845. The English and Scottish pioneers who homesteaded in Alnwick named the Township after the county-town fortress of Northumberland County in northern England.

The hamlet of Roseneath, called the Four Corners before the name was changed by James Campbell and his wife, who came from Roseneath, Scotland in 1838. A number of buildings from those pioneer days still exist today.

Alnwick is also one of the relatively few Ontario townships having an Indian Reserve within its boundaries. These Natives are descendants of the mighty Mississaugas.

There are two Indian craft shops offer-ing many unique gifts.

The former Township of Haldimand is predominantly rural in character. Many

residents operate antique shops providing an active non-intrusive commercial base for the township.

Grafton is home to architecturally signifi cant structures like the Haldimand Hills Spa. The Township offers discovery by the Waterfront Trail which is designed for access by car, bike and foot. Along the route, running parallel to Lake Ontario, is the wetland preservation area known as the Nawautin Nature Sanctuary. Hik-ers can also enjoy Peter’s Woods which provides some lovely scenic and wooded areas to explore.

Running north from Cty. Rd. 2 are some of the most prominent cold water streams in Canada for salmon and rain-bow trout, as well, the Township offers access to Lake Ontario by way of the Wicklow Beach boat launch a perennially popular spot for trout and salmon off-shore fi shing. The municipality is situated with Rice Lake at its northern boundary and Lake Ontario to the south.



Come Visit The Roseneath Carousel. A 1906 Authentic

Antique C.W. Parker Carousel

The golden age of carousel production ended with the Depression of 1929. Most of the remaining examples of this form of North American art are found in public displays and private collections.

The Roseneath Carousel was built in 1906 at Abilene, Kansas, by C.W. Parker, a manufacturer of amusement rides. Only four like the Roseneath type were known to be made in North America and the Roseneath Carousel is stamped number three on the ring gear. The Carousel con-sists of 40 basswood horses and 2 boats, with Herschell/Spillman or Armitage/ Herschell on the centre row and Parker Jumpers on the outside and inside rows.

The music is provided by a 125 Wurlitzer Military Band organ, built in 1934, complete with paper rolls to usher out the nostalgic music.

After the carousel left the C.W. Parker plant in Abilene, there are a few gaps in its history. It eventually surfaced at Mohawk Park in Brantford, Ontario, and in 1932 it was purchased by the Roseneath Agricul-tural Society for $675.00.

Throughout the years maintenance work was done on the mechanical parts of the carousel by local tradespeople, and students repainted the horses. By 1986, the ancient ride no longer met Ontario’s safety standards.

A group of dedicated and enthusi-astic volunteers organized the Carousel Restoration committee, and embarked on a massive $400,000.00 fund raising campaign to restore the relic to its original condition under the expert hands of mas-ter carver Konstantin von Waldburg.

July 17, 1993 marked the grand re-opening of this museum quality, ridable carousel housed in the sixteen-sided build-ing (which was the building constructed around the carousel when it was located to the Roseneath fairgounds in 1932).

In 1998, the original Carousel building underwent signifi cant repairs. A total of $25,000 was spent to install a new foundation, a complete cement fl oor and new exterior boards to replace those destroyed by age.

Renovations to the original building built in 1932 are desperately required to house and protect the restored Carousel.

Purchasing one of our Carousel musi-cal eggs at a cost of $15 each or two for $25 will assist our fund-raising campaign.

Or, become a FRIEND OF THE ROSE-NEATH CAROUSEL. Your donation will assist in efforts to preserve and operate the Carousel – a precious reminder of days gone by in rural Ontario.

The Trent-Severn Waterway is a picturesque 386 km (240 miles) connection between the Georgian Bay and Lake Ontario. The route passes through many locks, including two of the highest hydraulic lift locks in the world, one being Lock 21 in Peterborough. The Otonabee River is short in length and is actually two very different rivers. The upper portion runs from

Katchiwanooka Lake to Peterborough’s Little Lake, and is surrounded by limestone and cedar lined shores. The lower level travels along treed shorelines to Rice Lake. The Otonabee River is part of the Trent-Severn Waterway system and fl ows into Rice Lake. Hastings is where Rice Lake fl ows into the Trent River.

The Trent-Severn Waterway



Can you imagine what it was like in the early 1800s? How would you have coped with living in a country you thought was “the land of hope; here everything is new; ... they must keep advancing ...” only to arrive from England to discover yourself standing in “the land of stumps” on the Rice Lake Plains, on the south shore of Rice Lake, north of Cobourg.

Sisters In the Wilderness – the Lives of Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill, a book written by Charlotte Gray in 1999, has brought these two pioneering sister writers to life, telling about their respec-tive emigration from England to Canada in 1832 and living in the Lakefi eld, Peterbor-ough, and Rice Lake area.

Charlotte Gray follows their lives as they struggle with the pioneering way of life in rural Ontario in the early 1800s. The two youngest girls of a family of eight (6 girls, 2 boys), Catharine and Susanna, lived a comfortable life in rural Suffolk, England. With opposite personalities, Susanna, a year older, was “red-haired and short-tempered” while Catharine was a cheerful, loving child with a sunny and confi dent disposition. Gray describes their lives in wilderness Ontario and gives the reader a good insight into how each woman sees and handles the extreme hardships they encountered during their pioneering lives.

Catharine Parr Strickland Traill was born in London, England in 1802 to Thomas and Elizabeth Strickland. Five of her seven brothers and sisters became writers.

In 1832, Catharine married Thomas Traill, of Orkney, an offi cer in the Royal Scots Fusiliers. In the same year they emigrated to Canada to take up a military

grant. They settled in the vicinity of Lakefi eld, where Mrs. Traill’s brother Samuel Strickland, had already established himself, and where her sister Susanna Moodie was also to come. She lived in the Peterborough-Rice Lake-Lakefi eld area until her death, at the age of 97, in 1899.

Besides coping with the trials of backwoods existence, Mrs.Traill was the mother of nine children, an ardent botanist, and the author of a number of books written in Canada.

Susanna Strickland Moodie was born in 1803, a sixth daughter for the Strick-lands, who were then living at Stowe House, near Bungay, in Suffolk, England. The family moved in 1808, to Reydon Hall, near Southwold, Suffolk. Susanna’s father lost his money and died in 1818. Susanna married J.W. Dunbar Moodie, a fellow offi cer of Thomas Traill, also from Orkney. Emigrating to Canada in 1832, the Mood-ies fi rst occupied pioneer shanties on their “Melsetter” land between Port Hope and Cobourg. In 1834, they moved to an uncleared farm in Douro township, on Lake Katchewanooka, north of Lakefi eld, near the home of her brother Samuel Strickland and sister Catharine. From 1837 to 1839 Moodie served in the militia of Upper Canada during and after the Mack-enzie rebellion. He was appointed sheriff of Hastings County in 1839, and moved with his wife and family to Belleville in January 1840. They had two sons and fi ve daughters. Susanna lived in Toronto with her daughter after her husband’s death in 1869 and died there in 1885.

Catharine Parr Traill is the author of many books like her sister Susanna Moodie. Locally she is known for her

book, The Backwoods of Canada (1836) which documents her trip from England to the Lakefi eld area and the fi rst two and a half years of her life in the bush country. She is most well-known in the Rice Lake area for her book Canadian Crusoes: A tale of the Rice Lake Plains, published in 1852.

Susanna’s book Roughing It In the Bush also published in 1852, describes her experi-ences trying to build a homestead in Hamil-ton Township and later in Douro Township.

Author Charlotte Gray “breathes new life into two remarkable characters and brings us a brilliantly clear picture of life in the backwoods and clearings of Upper Canada”. She used the correspondence and personal papers of Susanna and Cath-arine along with meticulous research to reveal the extremely diffi cult life both sis-ters experienced as they learned to cope in the wilds of in the wilds of Ontario. The book is available at any bookstore.
