About this listen

Originally published in 1852, Roughing It in the Bush by Susanna Moodie, with contributions from her husband John Wedderburn Dunbar Moodie, is a vibrant, humorous, and wry description of their arrival and life in the young country of Canada after their immigration in 1832 and settlement in the rugged backwoods of what is now Ontario - unimaginably difficult but also breathtakingly beautiful by turns.

It is filled with hope and passion for the future that Canada may grow to fulfill, a song of hope for what may be built out of multicultural immigration.

This edition is the complete text of the original publication, including poems by Susanna, her brother, and her husband (J.W.D.M) and four chapters contributed by John W. D. Moodie.
