Hind's exploration of the country between Lake Superior and the Rocky Mountains was prompted by the need for a land access to the gold fields of British Columbia as well as the possible establishment of a railway route to the Pacific Coast. His narrative provides a wealth of information about customs beliefs and condition of the native peoples. Sabin 31934 notes that he "lived almost constantly among the Crees and Chippeways whose habits and peculiarities he was most eager to study and prompt to record."

Statement Respecting The Earl of Selkirk's Settlement of Kildonan Upon the Red River in North America; Its Destruction in 1815 and 1816; and the Massacre of Governor Semple and His Party

181722895London: J. Brettell 1817. First Edition. True first edition issued prior to the John Murray trade edition and distributed only to Selkirkâ€™s and Halkettâ€™s close associates and certain highly-placed officials in the British Foreign Office. 8vo pp. 125 lxxxix with folding map by A. Arrowsmith titled "Sketch of a Part of the Hudson's Bay Company Territory" in a modern quarter-leather binding. Map has some offsetting and an old repair on the verso; binding sound text very clean. The Red River Settlement was an agricultural colony located in present-day Manitoba North Dakota and Minnesota established in 1811 by Thomas Douglas Fifth Earl of Selkirk on about 120000 square miles of land granted to him by the Hudson's Bay Company. Selkirk had become interested in settling the area after reading Alexander Mackenzie's 1801 book on his travels in the region. Poverty was on the rise in Scotland and Selkirk believed he could give settlers a chance at a better life in the new colony he called "Assiniboia." His chief opponents in this plan were the partisans of the Northwest Company who had long traded without interference in the territories now claimed by Selkirk and the Hudson's Bay Company. Although the colony was not very successful agriculturally the lure of free land added new settlers every year and scarce resources and disputes over land rights led to conflict with trappers and traders from the North West Company. This work written by Lord Selkirkâ€™s brother-in-law defends Selkirkâ€™s actions in response to aggressions instigated by the North West Company that ultimately culminated in the 1816 â€œMassacre at Seven Oaksâ€ and the death of the colonyâ€™s governor Robert Semple. The Appendix contains legal documents in support of Selkirkâ€™s case. Streeter 3672 opines that "The tone of the Statement is arrogant and was certainly poor 'public relations' as far as the Canadian public was concerned." TPL 1092; Sabin 20703. [J. Brettell] unknown

[Province of Canada – 19th Century – English Immigration] Senkler, Edmund JBiblio.com

Letters from Edmund John Senkler Describing Life In 1840s Canada

1847List2609Quebec City and Brockton Canada 1847. Four letters approximately sixteen total pages: four 8 x 12.5 inches twelve 8 x 10 inches and smaller. Two letters dated 1846 one 1847 missing final pages and one without date missing initial and final pages. Very good. Edmund John Senkler 1802â€“1872 was born in Norfolk England educated at Cambridge and in 1827 ordained as an Anglican minister. Senkler his wife Eleanor and their children immigrated to Canada in 1843 to live in Quebec City Canada East now the province of Quebec. They then moved to Sorel also known as William Henry and finally to Brockville near Kingston Canada West now Ontario. Offered here is a set of four letters from Senkler to his friend G. W. Chad back in Norfolk describing the activities of Senkler and his family as they settle into life in Canada. The Senklers had first moved to Quebec City but did not enjoy their time â€œin that pestiferous cloaca . over which the destroying angel seems evermore to hover with his drawn sword in his handâ€ May 8 1846. On planning to leave the Bishop of Montreal offers Senkler an unpaid position in â€œCoteau du Lac a lonely place 40 or 50 miles above Montrealâ€ whose previous missionary had â€œbeen enjoying for many years a handsome salaryâ€ and was now â€œon his return to England.â€ Senkler turns down this meager offer and takes his family to Sorel. The move is providential as â€œNot fewer than 27 persons with whom we had some acquaintance have died there Quebec City since we leftâ€ September 10 1846. The familyâ€™s acquaintances apparently died in a theater fire in Quebec Cityâ€”probably the St. Louise Theaterâ€”which seemed to have turned into a crowd crush: â€œI knew some of the sufferers: some were very pious people . What shocked the feelings of all who witnessed the scene with some of whom I have conversed was that the misery was so easily approachable and yet so utterly beyond relief. . In the case of poor Mr. Scott mentioned in all the papers particularly the Illustrated London News of July 18 where there is a view of the place his brother could not only see him but talk with him â€“ caress him petting his face weeping over him while the poor suffering man commended his wife family to his care; and yet no force could drag out his limbs from the entangled mass of human beings. They did pull at him until they pulled the ball of his shoulder out of the socket and he begged to be allowed to die.â€ By 1847 the family had sold their property in Sorel and moved west to Brockville in what is now Ontario. The family are noticing the effects of Englandâ€™s Panic of 1847: â€œThe great scarcity of money now felt in England will very shortly be felt here. The produce sent from hence home has not been paid for. Consequently our merchants must pay for the manufactures c. sent out by bills of exchange which must be in so much greater demand therefore fetch a higher premium.â€ December 8 1847 And around the same time an epidemic of typhus breaks out in Canada from Irish immigrants fleeing the famine: â€œProbably you have learned from the papers what misery the unfortunate Irish emigrants have brought and are likely yet to bring to this country. They have spread a pestilence through the city of Montreal. Grosse Isle the quarantine station below Quebec has been crowded with fever patients to an alarming extent. . The emigrants as they recover are forwarded by the steam-boats from Grosse Isle to Montreal without touching at Quebec where they are received in miserable wooden sheds. Many suffer a relapse; others first shew symptoms of fever when there; and spread the infection though the town by begging. You can imagine what hotbeds of infection those steam-boats must be. Last week 3 passed Sorel without touching at the port one had 1000 emigrants on board the other two about 800 500 respectively. . These unhappy people are forwarded to their destination in the Western Country. For many of them doubtless that destination will be an untimely grave in a strange place.â€ No Date. Nonetheless the Senkler family happily settles in the town of Brockville with â€œan orchard garden with plenty of pasture for a couple of cows and horses with ground for growing all the vegetables required for the familyâ€ December 8 1847. The land is rapidly developing with land prices increasing and a telegraph line from Toronto to Quebec running through it â€“ which to Senkler is â€œsurprising in a country in which 60 years ago there was only an Indianâ€™s hunting track for hundreds of miles.â€ Overall the letters provide an intimate look at life for settlers in Canada in the middle period of its rule by the British. unknown
