Summary "Upper Canada Sketches" by Thomas Conant is a collection of historical accounts written in the late 19th century. The work explores the heritage and experiences of early settlers in Upper Canada, specifically focusing on the Conant family, with ties to notable historical figures such as Roger Conant, the first governor of Massachusetts. The narratives within this volume delve into the challenges, triumphs, and everyday life of these pioneers as they navigated the frontier while contributing to the formation of Canadian society. The opening of "Upper Canada Sketches" introduces the reader to the origins of the Conant family, tracing their lineage from Normandy following William the Conqueror in 1066 through to their settlement in England and eventual migration to the American colonies. The text emphasizes the importance of Roger Conant's character and his foundational role in the New World, setting the stage for a rich tapestry of stories about early American and Canadian life. In this opening portion, the author also establishes a backdrop of historical context, noting significant events and figures that shaped the trajectory of the Conants and their contributions to the burgeoning settlements in Upper Canada.
