Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Canadian Magazine of Politics, Science, Art and Literature, May-October 1900, Vol. 15 Last summer, as I passed along northern Ontario, between Port Arthur and Rat Portage, I saw, sidetracked by the bank of a river, the private palace car of the President of the New York Central, one of the richest citizens of the United States. His wealth could not provide him in New York with what he was seeking and getting, free of charge, in Canada - the pleasure of casting a fly for gamey fish amid the most entrancing and restful natural scenery. As I sojourned at Banff and Laggan and the Glacier in the Rockies, I met Europeans who had crossed the Atlantic and a great continent to view mountains more majestic in their number and extent than the Alps of Europe and fully equal in grandeur and colouring. In Vancouver and Victoria I met Americans from San Francisco and other western cities who had come up to see the beauties of British Columbia, its famous mountains, rivers and salmon fisheries and to enjoy one of the balmiest climates in the world. The Muskoka region, in Ontario, is crowded each summer with tourists from all parts of the United States, and last year many were forced to make a short stay because of inadequate accommodation. The City of Quebec, with its quaintness and its romance, is yearly attracting an increased number of travellers anxious to see its madiæval relics and its historic rock. The celebrated Chateau Frontenac is taxed to accommodate all the visitors who write their names on the register in an office which overlooks one of the most beautiful terraces in the world. The Maritime Provinces are now the regular camping grounds of the people from the cities of the Eastern States. Halifax and St. John are well known as objective points for those who wish to escape for a month from the toil and heat of a large city, and to avoid the bustle and rush of a fashionable watering place. Here they find a land which is fanned by cooling sea breezes, which possesses land-locked harbours, where even the frail bark canoe may be safely launched, where the scenery is of a sweet pastoral simplicity or an impressive grandeur, and where in crystal brook or primeval forests may be found sport which will create memories to be treasured throughout life. While the number of foreign tourists is on the increase, the Canadian people themselves are awakening to a realization that in their own country are to be found the chiefest pleasures of life. The neighbourly relations between the people of adjacent provinces are being extended and more "social calls" are being paid.
