Excerpt from Some Bay of Quinte Reminiscences: An Address Before the Association at Toronto, Delivered on April 27th, 1922 When the Loyalists landed in their hew home they came to native forests with no roads, churches, schools or houses. They brought nothing with them but the spirit of sacrifice and loyalty and the conscious um of duty well done, which were greater than all the material wealth brought into Canada by all the immigrants that have since arrived. When they arri ved here they were given tracts of virgin forest of no saleable value, also some food and clothing and a few tools and implements, but very little of material value, certainly not as much as they left behind them. They were, however, given the right to be British, to te main within the Empire and enjoy its freedom and protection, which to them were worth everything.
