Card Wrappers [French]. Condition: As New. Second Edition of 1995. The Peace River Country was the last major region of North America to be thrown open for homestead. Prior to large scale settlement however, an intriguing history had already emerged, as natives, traders, missionaries, gold seekers and farmers, all endeavored to wrest a living from this rugged, but beautiful northern environment. Delayed Frontier presents the history of the Peace River Country before the settlement period. Based on extensive archival research, this book reveals the plight of the native population, the exploits of the fur traders, the evangelizing efforts of the missionaries, the exigencies of the prospectors and the attempts of first farmers. The lives of many unique individuals are woven into this history such as Twelve Foot Davis, Jim Cornwall, Alllie Brick, Dan Williams, Tranquille, Alex Monkman, Maud Cliufford, Alex MacKenzie, Duncan Tustawits and Father Tissier. Their stories, and the circumstances in which they were rooted, present a fascinating and human account of the early years of this frontier land. Signed by the author to the top of the title page. 256 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. Bright, clean and still fresh. Unmarked. Bright, glossy wrappers, no spine creases.
