|  Atwood, Mae. Dawn Across Canada: Oxcart to Railway in Ten Years
Morriss 1986. (Trade paperback) ... Near fine. ... Here is the story of Canadians who wrought vast changes peacefully in a crisis threatening famine and civil war. Only two years after Confederation, Canada undertook to govern its Northwest Territories purchased from Hudson's Bay Company. Within ten years a 200-year-old economy became one of grain growers and shippers. Men of vision had foreseen the time when diminishing herds of buffalo could no longer supply food for an increasing population. Earlier that century Lord Selkirk had brought many of his hardy Scottish countrymen to new homes on Red River. His courtesy in asking an Indian Chief for permission to travel through tribal territory won safe conduct for him and his followers and a lasting friendship with the Indians. The monumental struggles of those he brought to Canada have been rewarded with wealth of intellect, character and property bequeathed to their descendants and to all Canadians.

Horsdal & Schubart 0-920663-21-4 2002, 3rd printing. (Trade paperback) ... Very good. ... Frontispiece. ... *****Gripping, tragic and funny by turns, these recollections by members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police go back T the great March West in 1874.

This book is a lively and lasting tribute to the dedication, courage and humour of Canada's widely respected and much-admired "Mounties".*****.
