Description:
1892 Remington Illustrated 1ed Canada's Frontier Wilderness Exploration INDIANS Julian Ralph's "On Canada's Frontier," illustrated by Frederic Sackrider Remington, takes readers on a fascinating journey through the emerging territories of Western Canada at the turn of the 19th century. Ralph's work strays from traditional narratives of the time about well-established Canadian cities and instead delves into the raw landscapes, vibrant cultures, and lives of the indigenous people, missionaries, fur traders, and fresh settlers in the country's western expanse. This book chronicles Ralph's personal explorations, firsthand observations, and rigorous studies, capturing the unique spirit of nation-building, the enduring charm of the wilderness, and the evolving human story. Readers are treated to 70 evocative illustrations, enriching this rich tapestry of life on Canada's frontier.
