Excerpt from The Red River Settlement: Its Rise, Progress, and Present State, With Some Account of the Native Races and Its General History, to the Present DayThe chronological order may thus be a little disturbed, but the order of the subjects treated of is better pre served by this plan. Here, also, it may be noticed, once for all, that the author makes no pretension to the scientific treatment of his subject; his task is the much humbler one of describing the lot of the poor settler, and, in a word, the trials and triumphs of industry.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
