About This Book
A lively travelogue that surveys a vast northern country through geography, climate, and regional life, moving from Atlantic coasts and St. Lawrence communities across central cities, prairies, and the western mountains. Chapters explain winter sports and extreme cold, prairie farming and wheat production, cattle ranching, timber, mining, fisheries, waterways and rail networks, and aspects of settlement, law, and the lives of Indigenous and immigrant peoples, accompanied by maps and illustrations.
