About This Item

156 p. Illustrated.

Dust jacket is unmarked with only mild shelfwear to corners and faint sunning. The book is ex-library with internal stamps, stickers, and pocket remnant, and the covers have minor tape residue to cloth side (from previous jacket sleeve) but otherwise the book is in Fine condition.

Edited and with an introduction by Ronald A. Wells. From the dust jacket flap:

Letters From a Young Emigrant in Manitoba, first published in 1883 and long out-of-print, is one of the best records of Canadian immigrant life. The letters were written by Edward ffolkes, who left England in 1882 study at the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph and later to homestead in southern Manitoba. They describe with rare insight the daily struggles and expectations of an "ordinary man" who had the courage to take up a new life on the frontier.

Ronald A. Wells has introduced the volume with a wide-ranging essay on the role of popular knowledge about Canada in Britain and the significant shift of British migration from the United States to Canada at the end of the nineteenth century.

This edition has been designed in the style of the original, with the addition of Norman Schmidt's evocative line drawings.
