About the Book:-This book has been deemed as a classic and has stood the test of time. The book has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. It is part of series on the colonisation and the expansion of its empire by Britain. It starts with the discovery of this land by the Europeans, and goes on to describe Jacques Cartier, Elizabethan pioneers, Champlain, the geographical conditions, the natives, Hudson bay explorers, Alexander Henry Sr, Samuel Hearne, Alexander Mackenzie and his successors. It also describes peopled and described gaps in Canadian history filling the overview of history described in many history lessons. This book is probably misleadingly named for today's average reader. It would dwell on the general experiences of Pioneers to Canada in general and came to realize quickly that more to the point; it is focused upon Explorere of Canada. That's a fine point perhaps, and it may be defensible given that the book is older and in the vernacular of its day the meaning was more generally understood. The typical stereotypes abound and when positive statements are made, they appear to almost be apologetic and set in contrast to the focus upon hygene, morals and cultural differences that are laid out in a manner that can only be called self-aggrandizing. About the Author :-Sir Henry Hamilton Johnston GCMG KCB (12th June 1858 – 31st July 1927), frequently known as Harry Johnston, was a British explorer, botanist, artist, colonial administrator and linguist who traveled widely in Africa and spoke many African languages. He published 40 books on African subjects and was one of the key players in the Scramble for Africa that occurred at the end of the 19th century. In October 1886 the British government appointed him vice-consul in Cameroon and the Niger River delta area, where a protectorate had been declared in 1885, and he became acting consul in 1887, deposing and banishing the local chief Jaja.While in West Africa in 1886, Johnston sketched what has been termed a "fantasy map" of his ideas of how the African continent could be divided among the colonial powers. This envisaged two blocks of British colonies, one of continuous territory in West Africa, the Nile valley and much of East Africa as far south as Lake Tanganyika and Lake Nyasa, the other in southern Africa south of the Zambezi. This left a continuous band in Portuguese occupation from Angola to Mozambique and Germany in possession of much of the East African coast.
