O knihe

Whispers of Kingston: Uncovering the Stories of Early Settlers is a compelling exploration of the lives of individuals who helped shape the early history of Upper Canada, each of whom is buried in Kingston's St. Paul's Anglican Churchyard. From the tumultuous days of the American Revolution to the quiet resilience of the first settlers, this book delves into the stories of the men and women whose lives intertwine with the growth of Canada's colonial past. Among these individuals is Elizabeth "Betsy" Alger, a woman who faced the challenges of war, migration, and new beginnings, as well as her family, friends, and contemporaries-some Loyalists, some not-who all found their final resting place in Kingston. Through this collection of personal histories, readers will gain insight into the diverse experiences that led these pioneers to Upper Canada. Each chapter not only uncovers these rich historical narratives but also provides genealogical itineraries, giving readers the tools to trace their own roots and discover connections to this fascinating period in history. With meticulously researched details, Whispers of Kingston offers an opportunity to honor those who came before us and gives a voice to the forgotten stories of the past. This book is perfect for history enthusiasts, genealogists, and those interested in exploring their own heritage through the lens of the early Canadian settlers. Whispers of Kingston invites you to step into the past and follow the traces of your ancestors buried in the historic grounds of Kingston.
