B/w photos. John A. McDougall left his Ontario home in 1873 to seek his fortune in the West, first becoming a trader on the Fort Carlton Trail and then for some 50 years as a merchant in Edmonton after having arrived there in 1879. By the time of his death in 1928, he was a millionaire businesman and polititian. His story covers many aspects of the settling of the west; the coming of the railway, the plight of the native people, the Riel Rebellion, the inland trail to the Klondike gold rush, the rapid growth and booms and busts of the early decades of the 20th century. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 262 pages, Good in Good dust jacket Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
