Excerpt from Finding New Homes in CanadaDO you ever wish that you had lived long, long ago? Do you sometimes think, when you are on your way to school, that it would be fun to talk to a boy or girl who went to school in Canada a hundred or two hundred, or even three hundred years ago? What would you say to them, and what would they say to you? You would show them your school books, and perhaps you would try to read out of theirs. Yes, I think it would be fun, and a very good education for you, too.Perhaps sometimes when you have been on a hike you have come to a hill-top and have looked down from it at a pretty farmyard below, a house of white frame or stone, a barn with a pitch roof and an Orchard all darkly green and' white in the warm spring sun. And as you have looked, you have wondered whose home it first was. Did boys and girls live there hundreds of years ago? Surely they must have. Or perhaps on your summer holidays you have found a woodland path with shrubs and bushes overhanging it, and, as you have picked your way along it, you have pretended that you were a Canadian pioneer going along a blazed trail to your first Canadian home.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
