Download or read book Six Years in the Canadian North West Classic Reprint written by Jean D'Artigue and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Years in the Canadian North-West This Book, which I dedicate to the Canadian Public, is not a work of fiction, but is purely historical. In writing it, elegance of style has not been studied, but rather a simple relation of facts as they occur. It may be wanting in interest to the lover of imaginary adventure, but to those who love the truth, I trust it will be found sufficiently interesting to repay a perusal. My object in undertaking this work is not to gain notoriety, but to furnish the Canadian Public with an account, not yet given by any writer, of the object of the organization of the North-West Mounted Police Force, the trials, privations, and adventures which they encountered, and the results of the expedition.

Download or read book The Mounted Police and Prairie Society 1873 1919 written by University of Regina. Canadian Plains Research Center and published by University of Regina Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays presents a variety of scholarly explorations of the nature and role of the Mounties in the Prairie Provinces from the formation of the North West Mounted Police in 1873-74 to its transformation into the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1919-20. The essays are grouped into five broad themes: relations with First Nations; law enforcement; social issues, including relations with minority groups and labour movements; characteristics of the police force; and crisis and change (police-immigrant relations, response to labour unrest, and the origins of domestic intelligence and counter-subversion). An epilogue presents the case for the dramatic change of the force after 1919-20 and the new force's use of the positive image created by the old force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventurers of the Far North, Vol. 6: Pioneers of the North and West The map of Canada offers to the eye and to the imagination a vast country more than three thousand miles in width. Its eastern face presents a broken outline to the wild surges of the Atlantic. Its western coast commands from majestic heights the broad bosom of the Pacific. Along its southern boundary is a fertile country of lake and plain and woodland, loud already with the murmur of a rising industry, and in summer waving with the golden wealth of the harvest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Homesteaders: A Novel of the Canadian West IX little slates clattered into place, and six little figures stood erect between their benches. Right! Turn! Said the master. March! School is dismissed; and six pairs Of bare little legs twinkled along the aisle, across the well worn threshold, down the big stone step, and into the dusty road, warm with the rays of the Indian summer sun. The master watched them from the Open window until they vanished behind a ridge of beech trees that cut his vision from the con cession. While they remained within sight a smile played upon the features Of his strong, sun-burned face, but as the last little calico dress was swallowed by the wood the smile died down, and for a moment he stood, a grave and thoughtful statue framed within the white pine casings Of the sash. His sober grey eyes stared unseeing into the forest, while the light wind that stirred the golden maple leaves toyed gently with his unruly locks.

Download or read book Recollecting written by Sarah Carter and published by Athabasca University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recollecting is a rich collection of essays that illuminate the lives of late eighteenth-century to the mid twentieth-century Aboriginal women, who have been overlooked in sweeping narratives of the history of the West. Some essays focus on individual women - a trader, a performer, a non-human woman - while others examine cohorts of women - wives, midwives, seamstresses, nuns. Authors look beyond the documentary record and standard representations of women, drawing also on records generated by the women themselves, including their beadwork, other material culture, and oral histories.

At a time when we have compara tively so large a force in Canada and our other pro vinces, he hoped that many English readers would have an unusual interest in our Garrisons in the West. He would fain trust, also, that to the general reader his few chapters on some of our finest colonies may prove not destitute of information, nor devoid of interest.
