Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes of a Tour Through the Provinces of Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and the North-West Territory of the Dominion of Canada: Southern Manitoba; Agriculture in Ontario
In 1880, owing to the indisposition of my eldest son preventing him from following his profession, the sea, I went out with him to Manitoba, as from the Reports of Delegates, and information which I obtained at the othee of tht Canadian Government, I thought it probable that it might suit him to settle there and commence farming.
I left Liverpool on the 31st March in the Allan Liner Sar m'an, and after a tough passage, in which the ship proved her excellent qualities, reached Halifax, ns.
On the passage out, I heard terrible accounts of Manitoba and the North West, with reference especially to climate, and the ?at character of the country, which. It {was asserted, rendered it liable to be under snow or water for some eight months in each year.
