About This Item
Saskatoon, SK: Western Producer Prairie Books, 1977. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; address label inside front cover; edge wear to dust jacket - tape to bottom edge; otherwise minimal wear; "Lord Selkirk's vision of a land of agricultural prosperity was realized through the determination and efforts of his Red River settlers. He and his settlers had to contend with angry fur traders and hostile Metis who regarded the area as their exclusive domain and twice tried to eradicate the settlement; in addition, the colony was forced to cope with the natural hazards of grasshoppers, frost, vermin, and floods. Western Canada's great agricultural industry of yesterday and today has been Selkirk's unacknowledged monument. But his contribution is acknowledged in the form of the book." - from the cover (1977 perspective)
