"Some observations on the state of the Canadian Northwest in 1811 with a view to providing the intending settler with an intimate knowledge of that country" - subtitle. "Brings to life the exciting landscape of the Canadian Northwest in the early years of the nineteenth century when the fur traders from the St. Lawrence clashed with their rivals from Hudson Bay.

It is published here for the first time. Provides a picture of the Northwest as it was immediately prior to the first white settlement, based on sources that would have been available to a writer at that time." - dust jacket. 190 pages.
