Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Canadian Life as I Found It: Four Years´ Homesteading in the North-West Territories My career was to have been that of a sailor, but after a short experience of sea life in some of its roughest phases, I was nearly poisoned through the carelessness of a cook. As a sequel my health broke down for some years, and I was obliged to give up a profession I dearly loved. I subsequently turned my attention to farming, doctors all insisting on my leading an outdoor life, and later on I married. Farming on a small scale, whether at home or abroad (I have tried both), does not bring in an adequate return for the outlay of strength and money, so hearing of fortunes to be easily made in Canada, I determined to emigrate. I began by sending for all the pamphlets published by the Emigration Society in London. From these I gathered, that any young fellow willing to work, and having a small capital, say £200 on arrival clear, held the elements of future success, and quite sufficient to start on a government grant of 160 acres.
