Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Storm of '92: A Grandfather's Tale Told in 1932
But in those days nobody knew much abqut the western territories. Travellers told us of their natu ral beauty and wonderful wealth, but not many of us went to see for ourselves. Cur well-to-do classes were fond of spending their summers in Europe, according to the fashion of the times, and did not consider, as we do, an ignorance of the geography of then own country a disgrace. It was only when the great rush of European travel to those Canadian Alps, the Selkirks, began to be remarked, that they commenced to visit them. How strange the ignorance of the former generation must seem to'the present. We knew just as little of the James' Bay region, and believed it was frozen up eleven months in the year The Kootenay Lakes, Fraser Canyon, Mount Sir Donald - those great summer resorts of this day were all but unknown then.
