Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a travelogue of Canada by the author in the early 20th century, when rail lines first connected its provinces and the country opened to British immigration. The author explores the major cities and provinces of the Dominion (as it was then called), visiting Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa, Vancouver, and Winnipeg, along with the rural landscapes and rail lines connecting them. He describes the topography, the major industries, the political and social climate, and the historical events that shaped the country. Economic opportunities and social mobility for immigrants of the author's era feature prominently, along with the history and conflicts between the British and French powers and First Nations peoples. The author also includes information on the wildlife and sporting opportunities available in Canada, particularly big game hunting and fishing. The book is a valuable historical document, presenting a detailed picture of Canada in the early 20th century and the opportunities and challenges it presented to settlers.
