Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Romance of Western Canada As President of the Lord Selkirk Association, I represent a Society, the principal object of which is to keep green and vivid the memory of the intrepid band of pioneers from Scotland who came out at the beginning of the last century and settled upon the banks of the Red River of the North, near where the City of Winnipeg now stands. No nobler or more indomitable contingent of colonists ever crossed the seas to carve out for themselves homes in a new and far-distant land than were the men, and the women, too, who comprised the various groups brought out by Lord Selkirk at that time. It is only necessary to read the history of the first few years of the Settlement to realize the unspeakably severe trials and difficulties which they were called upon to encounter - difficulties from fire and flood, and grasshoppers and conflicts between rival Trading Companies. The wonder is that they did not pull up stakes, abandon the place and seek better conditions elsewhere. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
