Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Canadian Northwest as It Is Today Where some have gone, others are sure to follow. To those 1 offer this book. If you would profit by the experience of those that have gone ahead. It is not my intention to boom this country, or to speak harmful of it. I stand entirely alone, because I tell of the conditions there; as they have never been told before. You will find it intensely interesting. I went to Canada to see it, and I saw it. I was there twenty months, and traveled almost all over it. I drove more than eight hundred miles, to the end of wagon travel, then tool ponles to end of pack trail; then took raw boat to the end of canoe travel, then took steamer to the ice. Then walked until that was all taken up. Then took dog sleigh, and finished up. I saw all the prairie they have, and all the moskeg, bush country that I wanted to see. Take this book along, and con?u;t it as you go. It will save you from one hundred to one thousand dollars. It will tell you when to go, how to go, where to go, and what you will find when you get there. To the tourists who would seek the most improved portions, and the grandest scenery. To the sportsman who likes outdoor life and the shooting of big game. To the farmer who would seek a free home in a new country. To the stock raiser who would like to find a row west. There is room here for all. Now to the poor man who cant afford to experiment, my friend let me say to you right here, be careful of newspaper reports and magazine articles: read them, and weigh them; they are advertisements and are paid for, and they will say anything when they are Paid to say it. And as to any Government´s literature, I have this to say, their literature might be right, as far as it goes, but they do not go far enough. In so much as they do not change their literature to keep abreast with the rapid changes in a new country. Therefore, such reports are often misleading. If you can get a true and correct report on any country you can tell pretty close as to whether or not you can better your condition there. Where there is advertising there is misrepresentation and fraud. A sure way to judge between advertising matter and true reports is this: where the writer stands alone and tells the bad as well as the good. Then you get a true report, because no man or set of men are going to pay any man to say a bad word for their country or their goods. I am not interested in any colonization scheme, and no once has paid me a cent to say anything good, or bad for this country - I stand entirely alone. I have resolved in this book to hue to the line, and let the chips fail where they may. Did you ever see anything that was a!! good and no bad, unless It w?.?an advertisement? (Note) - This book does not carry one advertisement. After travelling ever the Canadian Northwest for twenty months, here is a true report of my findings. I am very truly your. Jim M.Cook.
