About This Book

A travel writer's survey of Canada and Newfoundland offers on-the-spot descriptions of coastal fisheries and iceberg-strewn harbors, French-Canadian parishes and Quebec shrines, the industrial cities of Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa, and the agricultural expanses of the prairies. The narrative moves from Maritime fishing villages through lumber camps, mines (iron, silver, nickel), and hydroelectric developments to transcontinental railways, western ranches and the mountain passes of the Rockies. Northern chapters examine Yukon goldfields, Klondike dredging and Arctic-edge farming, while recurring themes include transportation, resource exploitation, settlement patterns and the interaction of human industry with dramatic landscapes.
