"John Palliser, a lively Irishman, set out a hundred years ago in command of an expedition to explore the vast land that is now western Canada. The expedition's purpose was to determine whether the country was suitable for settlement, and whether it could be linked with the British colony on the St. Lawrence, and with the Pacific Coast. They studied the difficult British route by river, lake, and portage from Lake Superior to Red River.

They searched for practicable passes through the mountains; among those they put on record are the Kicking Horse Pass and Vermilion Pass." - dust jacket. x, 310 p. Index. Maps.
