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)
