  abstract = {Frustrated in his efforts to establish a settlement of German peasants in upstate New York, William Berczy (born Johann Albrecht Ulrich Moll) turned to Upper Canada. Lured by a promise of free land by the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe, around 1792-94, Berczy took his group to where Simcoe hoped to establish his capital. Simcoe repeatedly broke the promises he made to Berczy. Despite this, artist and architect Berczy's planning and building helped launch what was to become Toronto. Simcoe is commonly considered to be Toronto's founder; Berczy justifiably should be considered its cofounder. [D. L. Smith]},
