“To survive, the pioneer family of the early 1800’s had to know many crafts and skills. We see how sheep were sheared, and the wool washed, carded, spun and woven into cloth. The family braided rugs, made furniture, slipped candles, and made its own quill pens and ink. Produced for Coronet Films by Moreland-Latch Productions, Ltd. Consultant: Dorothy Duncan, Curator, Historic Houses, Toronto Historical Board”

“This depicts the home crafts and skills that were necessary for the well-being of the pioneer family: sheep shearing and preparation of wool, the braiding of rugs, making of furniture, dipping of candles and making of quill pens and ink.”
