Summary "Canada and the Canadians, Vol. 2" by Sir Richard Henry Bonnycastle is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work offers a detailed exploration of Canadian society, nature, and the evolving political landscape during a time of significant change following the 1837 rebellion. It documents various regions, particularly Upper Canada, and discusses issues such as public works, the relationships between Indigenous peoples and settlers, and the broader implications of Canadian identity within the British Empire. At the start of the narrative, Bonnycastle reflects on his return to Toronto after a journey to Lake Superior, lamenting the agricultural hardships faced in the region, including poor harvests. He shares anecdotes from his travels, highlighting natural phenomena and the life of the Indigenous communities he encounters, such as the Ojibbeways and the Mohawks. A poignant story details the resilience and faith of an elderly couple nearly facing disaster due to an ice jam on the Niagara River. Bonnycastle also critiques the political landscape, discussing the Family Compact and the loyalty of Canadians to Britain, presenting a complex picture of a young nation navigating its identity amidst external and internal pressures.
