In Duty Bound Men, Women, and the State in Upper Canada, 1783-1841

"In Duty Bound is by far the most significant sources on relations between the Upper Canadian state and 'ordinary' settlers." Colin Read, Department of History, Huron University College at Western University "In Duty Bound is a delight to read, written in a style that carries the reader along without losing any of the nuances or strength of the analysis. It will become an essential part of the library of all scholars of Upper Canada and indeed of nineteenth century British America and Canada." Elizabeth Jane Errington, Department of History, Queen's University
