Description
Excerpt from In the Days of the Red River Rebellion: Life and Adventure in the Far West of Canada (1868-1872)
Excepting my own family, our party is entirely tenderfoot. The Rev. Peter Campbell and wife and children are with us, also Mr. A. I. Snider, who has come out as teacher, and a sturdy Scotchman with his Red River native wife; these latter going with us to Pigeon Lake, and Messrs, Campbell and Snider to Edmonton. Even in a small party of tenderfeet there is striking variety in point of vision. As we gather around the camp-fires we listen and hear such talk as this: Oh, what a big country! Months of constant travel, and it is still before us! Room for millions! Splendid soil! Rich grass! What glorious landscapes!
