Book Description
Though many often think of frontier life in the United States of America, "Forest, Lake and Prairie: Twenty Years of Frontier Life in Western Canada—1842-62" by John McDougall brings readers right into the harsh, wild, and adventurous life that was expected of the Canadian frontier. Fans of US frontier stories will find familiar elements with the settlers who called Canada home. However, it would be unwise to assume the two experiences are identical, especially not after reading the sometimes harrowing tale weaved by McDougall.

Book Description
Excerpt from Forest, Lake, and Prairie: Twenty Years of Frontier Life in Western Canada 1842-62 Childhood - Indians - Canoes Old Isaiah - Father goes to college. MY parents were pioneers. I was born on the banks of the Sydenham River in a log-house, one of the first dwellings, a very few of which made up the frontier village of Owen Sound. This was in the year 1842. My earliest recollections are of stumps, log heaps, great forests, corduroy roads, Indians, log and birch-bark canoes, bateaux, Mackinaw boats, etc. I have also a very vivid recollection of deep snow in winter, and very hot weather and myriad mosquitoes in summer.

The People who Own Themselves
Author: Heather Devine
Publisher: University of Calgary Press
ISBN: 1552381153
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
With a unique how-to appendix for Metis genealogical reconstruction, this book will be of interest to Metis wanting to research their own genealogy and to scholars engaged in the reconstruction of Metis ethnic identity. The search for a Metis identity and what constitutes that identity is a key issue facing many aboriginals of mixed ancestry today. This book reconstructs 250 years of the Desjarlais' family history across a substantial area of North America, from colonial Louisiana, the St. Louis, Missouri, region and the American Southwest to the Red River and central Alberta. In the course of tracing the Desjarlais family, social, economic and political factors influencing the development of various Aboriginal ethnic identities are discussed. With intriguing details about the Desjarlais family members, this book offers new, original insights into the 1885 Northwest Rebellion, focusing on kinship as a motivating factor in the outcome of events.
