Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Hudson's Bay Company's Land Tenures and the Occupation of Assiniboia by Lord Selkirk's Settlers: With a List of Grantees Under the Earl and the Company
N 0 one is more aware than I that the field open to such a book as this is very limited; but when the country grows older, if the result of my efforts comes to be regarded as a conscientious contribution to the history of Manitoba, I shall be more than repaid, and shall regard my residence of over eleven years in that province as not in vain.
I am aware that I must have made some mistakes in the course of my work, and I shall esteem it a favour if any one will point them out, so that I may correct them, should the opportunity offer, in a subsequent edition.
In my researches much assistance was received from many persons mentioned in the text, but my thanks in particular are due to C. C. Chipman, Esq, Commissioner of the Hudson's Bay Company; to W. E. Macara, Esq, Barrister-at-law, Inspector of Land Titles Offices, Winnipeg to R. A. Ruttan, Esq, of the Dominion Lands Commission, Winnipeg, and to James Taylor.
