Sisters in the Wilderness: The Lives of Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill

00:00:07 [adventurous instrumental background music]

00:04:42 STAY HERE AND PERISH, OR GO FORWARD WITH

00:07:44 THE DREADFUL WRECK OF ALL HIS EARTHLY HOPES.

00:11:00 JOHN MOODIE IS ALSO

00:14:30 UPPER CANADA: THE PEOPLE GENERALLY ARE HOSPITABLE

00:18:02 THE ADVENTURE BEGINS.

00:21:48 TO DO AND NOTHING TO READ, HE IS REALLY A VERY PITIABLE CREATURE.

00:25:34 BY SEPTEMBER, SUSANNA MOODIE IS ALSO TRAVELLING THROUGH UPPER CANADA.

00:29:07 RUNNING A BUSH FARM, BUT THEY ARE AMATEURS

00:32:40 DEEP IN THE BACKWOODS NORTH OF PETERBOROUGH

00:36:09 READY TO STRIKE. THIS SPORT REQUIRES

00:40:31 AND FEELS MORE AND MORE TRAPPED BY HER ISOLATION.

00:45:20 MOST OF AGNES STRICKLAND'S SOCIETY FRIENDS DON'T KNOW

00:48:45 IT'S BEEN MANY YEARS SINCE SHE'S WORN A SMART DRESS.

00:52:50 STILL SET THE TONE.

00:59:41 JOHN: MY POOR OLD WIDOW IN THE BUSH.

01:03:15 COLD WAS ALMOST AS BAD AS LEAVING THEM TO THE MERCY OF

01:07:25 A HOUSE FOR YOU. I REALLY LONG TO KISS YOU ALL AGAIN.

01:10:42 OR MAYBE SUSANNA HOPED THE FAMOUS FAMILY CONNECTION

01:13:58 WHEN CATHARINE DESCRIBES A COMMUNITY LOGGING BEE

01:17:18 AS ANY MODERN NOVEL YOU COULD CONDESCEND UPON.

01:20:55 YOU WOULD LAUGH TO SEE ME REGARDING THAT
