Old Farm House, by A. J. Casson, Group of Seven

I have been very busy putting together my blogs that deal with the history of Canada.  If there is an * after the title, I am speaking about a novel, but a novel that has historical value.  If there are two **, the post deals with a battle, one of the battles that lead to the Battle of the Plains of Abraham.  

My blogs are now protected by an official copyright, which indicates that they are my intellectual property.  They may be quoted, but the source has to be given.

Yet, it is important for me to provide information to people who are not in a position to seek that information.  The Internet is becoming an important source of information, information one can rely on.  For people who are not able to get out and find this information in libraries, this is marvellous. 

I often think of people whose mobility is impaired.  Why should they be deprived of informative yet entertaining  posts?  They need a presence in their lives as I need the presence of others in my life.   

So here is my Canada list, but it may not be complete.  I may have forgotten a few posts.  But we now have a little bundle, all wrapped up.  However, voyageurs posts are missing, but they will be compiled.  It’s a matter of time. 

The order of this list goes from the more recent post to the oldest.  There is a chronology.
