Contents focus on Upper Canadian surveyor John Huston (1790-1845). Huston received authorization from Sir Peregrine Maitland to "practice the art of surveying land" in Upper Canada in 1820, and he assisted Peter Robinson, Commissioner of Crown Lands and Surveyor General of Upper Canada, in settling the 1825 contingent of Irish immigrants in the Peterborough area.
