Excerpt from The Making of the Canadian West: Being the Reminiscences of an Eye-Witness; With Portraits and Illustrations When the few short papers on the first colony in the North-West were put into book-form, under the title of "The Selkirk Settlers in Real Life," the book received a welcome far beyond its intrinsic deserts, because it gave some idea of how the early settlers lived in their homes rather than the ordinary history of contemporary events. Letters received from readers far and near, as well as verbal communications, have given me to feel that people are anxious to get glimpses of the moving actors in the human drama as an aid to understanding the events commonly known as the history of the country.
