Egbert An Owen Pioneer Sketches of Long Point Settlement

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This book is not a history of Norfolk County. It is simply a series of historical sketches and essays which tell the story of pioneer life in the early days of Long Point Settle ment, and depict the character and life work of the first cabin builders. As a whole, it is a history of the old trench-diggers and their crude beginnings; and, in this sense, the book may properly be styled a history of Long Point Settlement during the time it remained judicial headquarters for old London District.
