Dear reader,
I have decided to start a blog, perhaps it will promote my popularity in politics.. but probably not as I am the only one with a computer. I asked my dear friend about creating a blog and he looked at with his head cocked and eyebrow raised. Maybe one day when computers become popular someone will find this blog, or at least know what one is.
I will begin by telling you a bit about me:
I was born on the 10th of January in the year of 1815 in Galsgow, Scotland. I was one of the five children of Hugh Macdonald and Helen Shaw. Not all us children survived; my eldest brother William died while still an infant, and my younger brother James was struck in the head by a drunken servant and killed.
My father did not have luck with his business ventures in our homeland and our family moved in 1820 to Kingston in Upper Canada. My father did not have much more luck in Kingston, but managed to send me to Kingston's Midland Grammar School. My formal schooling finished at the young age of 15. I regret leaving school when I did, if I went to University perhaps i might have embarked on a literacy career, but only the most prosperous were able to attend in those days.
Well, I will be sure to write another time despite the probability no one will read this.
John Alexander Macdonald
