"This is the story of Beckwith Township, Ontario, located near Carleton Place, that was similar to many others in Ontario in both size and in the agricultural occupation of most inhabitants up until the last generation. But Beckwith was unique in other ways. Not only was it one of the earliest settlements in the Ottawa valley, and the earliest Irish group settlement in Ontario, but it had an unusually concentrated population within six years of being opened. As part of the military settlement guarding the much-anticipated Rideau Canal, during the late 1810s these immigrants were among the most reactionary and ultra-conservative to be found in all British North America." - dust jacket.
