Drawing on the Land

Millicent Mary Chaplin was the wife of Lieutenant Colonel Thos. Chaplin of the Coldstream Guards, and accompanied him to Quebec in 1838. During the next
four years the Chaplins traveled widely in Upper and Lower Canada and the United States and met an extraordinary variety of people, including Lafontaine,
Georges Etienne Cartier, John Beverly Robinson, and William Allan. Her diary offers perspectives of New York and American manners, Toronto, Kingston,
Montreal, Quebec, the Maritimes, and Niagara Falls. This volume includes seven of her watercolors and sixty black-and-white reproductions of the sketches from her travels.
