Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book recounts the early history of the region around Toronto from 1793 to 1834. It draws from contemporary accounts to explore the transformation of the area from its previous Indigenous use to its founding as the capital of Upper Canada and its re-naming as Toronto. The book examines the motivations and actions of important figures like Lieutenant-Governor Simcoe, and analyzes the motivations of settlers and the dynamics between various cultural and ethnic groups. The author also discusses the role of the fur trade and the impact of the War of 1812. Overall, the book provides a detailed and engaging account of the founding and early development of Toronto. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
