History of Saskatchewan and the Old North West (Classic Reprint) by Norman Fergus Black Pdf

Excerpt from History of Saskatchewan and the Old North West The author is conscious that in this, the first History of Saskatchewan, many matters have been given a relative prominence that some readers will think undue, and that other topics have been ignored or given but passing notice, which perhaps should have been treated of at length. The problem of selection is one of the most perplexing that has confronted the writer, and in so far as his decision is faulty, he can offer but the poor extenuation of 'mingled good intentions and inexperience. The work has grown on the author's hands to a bulk far exceeding that originally projected, and it has proved necessary to eliminate whole chapters for which materials had been gathered, and seriously to curtail many others. This elimination 'has occasioned the author the greater regret in that scores of obliging helpers have aided in collecting the materials he has at length felt compelled to reject. He hopes that these kind friends will accept his apologies, and not interpret the omission of their contributions as a failure to appreciate their value.

Twenty Years on the Saskatchewan, N. W. Canada (Classic Reprint) by William Newton Pdf

Excerpt from Twenty Years on the Saskatchewan, N. W. Canada To make the experience of the missionary appear real to other pe0p1e, it has been necessary to speak of many personal and local matters; but the general subjects that. Are mentioned will have their interest for readers whose thoughts may be turning some times to north-western Canada, and especially to the Edmonton district of Alberta, as this has been the centre of the missionary work that is narrated, and the standpoint of the observations that are made on the history, races, and customs of the people brought under review.

Manitoba and the Northwest Territories by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR Pdf

Excerpt from Manitoba and the Northwest Territories: The Real New Northwest Some idea of the extent to which the Northwest Company have pushed their trade may be seen in the fact that in 1845 they had some sixty trading is in this region, principally in the valleys of the Red Saskatchewan. Athabasca, etc. This condition of trade and occupancy of this section, continued undisputed, at least so far as the Red River was concerned until 1811 when, at the solicitation of, Lord Silkirk, one of the stockholders of the Hudson Bay Company, that company laid claim to the exclusive jurisdiction, under their charter, over this immense region and in 1812 they established their first Fort and Trading t on Red River near this place. Oming thus into so close daily competition the state of aflairs went from bad to worse, resulting in great injury to both com panies, and finally bloodshed. In one of their afi'rays the commanding offi cer of the H. B. Company was killed. The result of this regular battle brought both com anies to their senses, and soon after in 1821 these two competi tors formed a coalition continuing nu der the chartered name of the Hudson Bay Company. The company so con solidated, continued in undisputed pos session until 1868 when they sold their right to their exclusive trade and Juris diction claimed under their Old charter over this entire portion of British America and British Columbia, receiv. In g some cash, and' one-twen tieth of the land with es ec.al reserva tures about some of the r posts, fully acres.

Prairie Warships by Gordon Errett Tolton Pdf

The story of the Northwest Rebellion is synonymous with Métis leader Louis Riel, whose allies joined together in 1885 to face the military forces of the Canadian government, engaging in a civil war on the Canadian Prairies. A lesser-known element of the story is the gripping tale of river warfare along the banks of rivers in Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba. InPrairie Warships: River Navigation in the Northwest Rebellion, historian Gordon E. Tolton tells of the follies and triumphs of a small prairie war that was fought using steamboats, ferries and other river craft. This was an adventure experienced at water level by warriors and soldiers on all sides--European settlers, First Nations and Métis. Richly illustrated and thoroughly researched, Prairie Warshipstakes readers to an era when the frontier was under siege, when prairie towns were ports of call, when a region's lifeblood depended on transport and when the mood of the river determined the fate of a nation.
