- catalog abstract "Our knowledge and appreciation of the nineteenth century seem largely to have vanished. In this book, the author reconstructs that world, basing her story on a vast family correspondence that was meant to be destroyed. With their fair share of eccentricities and human failings, several generations provide a microcosmic view of the building of a nation. All the Journey Through is also the story of the making of a Toronto family, though much of the narrative takes place outside the city. Individuals meet with success or failure, they triumph or are crushed. We read of Methodism in the early days of the saddle-bag preachers in Upper Canada, milling, beginning with the Terrebonne Seigniory in Lower Canada, banking and distilling in Toronto, western expansion, politics and Confederation, the Cariboo gold mines and later mining in British Columbia, prairie land settlement, and the gradual emancipation of women. Finally, the Great War, a war that further defines the nation but at the expense of a generation of young men, throws its long shadow over the land and brings an end to 'the long century.'.".
