About this title

Synopsis

A hands-on, primary-source collection of early Upper Canada history. This edition gathers the Talbot Papers, sails through letters, reports, and official documents from Thomas Talbot and his circle, offering a window into land, governance, and military life in the early 19th century.

The contents include personal correspondence, government communications, militia orders, and establishing documents that illuminate settlement, administration, and relations with colonial authorities. Readers will encounter genuine 19th‑century voices, official actions, and the daily workings of a developing province, all presented as archival material.

- Direct letters and reports between Talbot and key figures like Peter Robinson, William Allan, and Major General Brock.
- Militia orders, inspections, and preparations from the War of 1812 era, showing how local defense was organized and executed.
- Land deals and estate paperwork that reveal how property was conveyed and managed in Aldborough and nearby townships.
- Preface, notes, and cross-references that help readers navigate the historical context and sources.

Ideal for students, historians, and archival researchers seeking a concrete, documentary view of early Canadian administration, settlement, and military life.
