Description

Excerpt from Manitoba and the Great North-West: The Field for Investment, the Home of the Emigrant Frequent demands upon my time and patience for information regarding the N orth-west have compelled me to put in book form the gleanings of the past ten years. In'the volume now offered to the public I have attempted to give a truth ful description of the greater part of the country suitable for the habitation of civilized man. Several chapters are devoted to its Natural History and Botany. These may be considered as a compendium of our present knowledge. In the chapters on the capabilities of the soil, stock-raising, climate, &c., Ihave spoken from my own knowledge and on my own authority. Where my own knowledge of any matter was considered insufficient, I have quoted from other writers of known ability and truthfulness. Statements from actual settlers are in their own words, and as their addresses are given these can be verified. Nearly every matter pertaining to the country has been touched upon, and where thought worthy elaborated. To give the work that completeness to which it aspires appendices have been added by other writers on matters for which their knowledge specially fitted them. As qualifications for writing the work I may mention a twenty years study, theoretical and practical, of Botany, Natural History, and Physical Geography.
