The Silver Chief : Lord Selkirk and the Scottish Pioneers of Belfast, Baldoon and Red River - Campey, Lucille H.

As New; Campey presents a case for re-assessing the achievements of Selkirk and his settlers. Using a wealth of documentary sources, she reconstructs the sequence of emigration from Scotland to the three areas of settlement. She shows that emigration took place in a carefully planned and controlled way and reveals the self reliance, adaptabilty and steely determination of the Selkirk settlers. They brought their rich traditions of Scottish culture to Canada and, in doing so, helped to secure its distinctively Canadian future. Together, Selkirk and his settlers succeeded against overwhelming odds and altered the course of history.
