"Early settlers of Bowmanville, Darlington, Clarke, and surrounding country, with sketches of the habits and customs of the aborigines, and synopsis of the zoology indigenous to this portion of Canada" - cover title This short work contains historical sketches and oral histories of Clarington, Ontario, as well as a description of the animal life in the area. While less cohesive and chronological than Conant's work, Upper Canada Sketches , it is still interesting to the reader since it speaks of the area near which she resides. (Summary by TriciaG) Note: This work contains racial stereotypes and attitudes towards indigenous peoples that many do not consider acceptable today.
