Summary "Letters from Muskoka" by Mrs. Charles Gerrard King is a collection of personal letters written in the late 19th century. These letters recount the author's experiences as an emigrant and farmer in Muskoka, Ontario, after relocating from France due to the hardships posed by the Franco-German War. Through the narrative, readers are likely to find insight into the challenges of emigration, settling in a new land, and adapting to life in the Canadian wilderness. At the start of the book, the author introduces her family’s decision to emigrate, detailing their arduous journey across the Atlantic and their arrival in Canada. The letters vividly describe the emotional turmoil of leaving behind friends and familiar comforts in France, as well as the various trials faced upon their arrival, including navigating the rough landscape, enduring difficult weather, and establishing their new life amidst uncertainty. The opening strongly sets the stage for a heartfelt and authentic exploration of pioneering life, interspersed with humor and resilience as the family copes with the realities of settler existence in the Canadian Bush.
