The Palliser Expedition: The Dramatic Story of Western Canadian Exploration 1857-1860 = Spry, Irene

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to inside corners; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; This lively narrative tells of the famous adventures of John Palliser, one of the first to explore and document vast areas of what is now Western Canada. Spry describes what was known about the prairies in the late 1850s. She explains what the expedition learned during its three years, offering at the same time an intimate understanding of these men and their perspective on the region. The Palliser Expedition provides a revealing look at the western interior in the last years of the Old Northwest before it became home to countless thousands of homesteaders.
