For your consideration is this First Edition of "On Canada's Frontier", by Julian Ralph with illustrations by Frederick Remington; published 1892 by Harper & Brothers, New York. A fascinating journey through the emerging territories of Western Canada at the turn of the 19th century. Ralph's work strays from traditional narratives of the time about well-established Canadian cities and instead delves into the raw landscapes, vibrant cultures, and lives of the indigenous people, missionaries, fur traders, and fresh settlers in the country's western expanse. This book chronicles Julian Ralph's (1853-1903) personal explorations, firsthand observations, and rigorous studies, capturing the unique spirit of nation-building, the enduring charm of the wilderness, and the evolving human story. Julian Ralph was an author and journalist, most noted for his work on The Sun, a newspaper of New York City. This reddish-brown cloth bound gold gilt stamped illustrated hardcover is in fair condition, scuffing and staining exhibited on cover and edges. Necklace of arrowheads depicted with gold gilt on front cover. Intact pages exhibit age tanning and slight foxing. Measures 6.25"W x 9"L x 1"D, weight 1lb, 12oz.
