Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Pioneer in the Rock River Country One day I saw a big Indian shake her by the shoulder be cause she wouldn' t give him bread. She was ironing at the time and threatened him with a hot flat iron till he hurried out. Another came in one warm summer afternoon, shut the door behind him, and leaned against it, glowering at her. For once she was thoroughly frightened. He had with him a tomahawk, having a hollow handle and head, that could be used as a pipe. However, her wits did not desert her. Seeing the cat sleeping peacefully in the corner, she cried, How did that cat get in here! And catching up the broom she chased pussy around till she reached the door, when seizing the heavy iron latch she pulled it wide open, sending Mr. Indian into the middle of the room; she then pushed the door back against the wall and set a chair against it. The Indian stood still for a min ute, then uttered a grunt and took himself off, probably think ing she was too dangerous a person for him to attempt to bully. The Indians used to offer for sale venison, fish, and maple sugar, but the line was always drawn on the latter, for it was commonly reported that they strained the sap through their blankets. And you should have seen their blankets! About 1846 a company of civilized Oneidas, some of whom my father had known in the East, camped near by and manufactured a large number of handsome and serviceable baskets. From wild berries they would make dyes that never faded, and print them on the baskets with stamps cut from potatoes. Some of their designs were quite artistic. A small basket and a rat tle which they gave my year-old sister showed their good will. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Pioneer Reminiscences My father said that Cape Colony was the finest country he ever saw. The farmers had large ranches with immense flocks of cattle and sheep, and plenty of slaves to take care of them. In some places the wolves were so plentiful in the mountains that they had to gather the cattle in large flocks in the evening and kindle fires at certain distances, with slaves keeping up the fires all night to save the cattle from the wolves.

Excerpt from Reminiscences of Pioneer Days in the West Perhaps I was surprised to find everything scrupulously clean and one had no reservation on that score. These Metis -were big powerful men and excellent axe men though the French Canadian foremen complained that they 'had a tendency, frequently, to take some days off. They used a good many words that were Cree and strangely enough, some that a Kildonan man told me were Gaelic. Their forebears worked for the Hudson's Bay Company for many generations and as most of the company men were Highland Scotsmen this was not so surprising. Atikokan, in 1903 was an important divisional point on what was then the main line of the c.n.r. There appeared to be no agricultural land in the district which consisted of swamp, rock and tundra. The hamlet was made up of a hotel, wholesale liquor store, general store and roundhouse with but one frame house and a number of shacks. Train and engine crews lived either at Rainy River or Port Arthur. There was but one eating place and the guests were served at a long table and at meal-time made up a family party. As was the general custom: at that time the food was not served directly but large bowls and platters were passed around and the boarders helped themselves. A general favorite in the district was an interesting and humourous character, Captain Wood, a civil war veteran and a mining engineer who still carried a Confederate bullet in his shoulder. Seated at breakfast with the Captain on the morning of my arrival I enquired as to the contents of a large bowl on the table. That, my friend, replied the Captain, is Atikokan antelope. The general round of smiles made me curious until I found it was rabbit hash. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
