A description of the harvesting and cooking of wild rice, 1854
Indian Rice
Catharine Parr Traill (1802-1899) was one of Canada's most prominent 19th-century writers. Born in England, Traill and her husband settled in what is today the province of Ontario in 1832. She was a prolific and diverse author, produrcing emigrant manuals, children's literature, novels, and botanical texts. In this piece, excerpted from her 1854 Canadian Settler's Guide, Traill discusses wild rice, a frequent topic in her work, and provides some recipes for use in the home.
