Rev. Robert Murray, Editor of the _Presbyterian Witness_ (Halifax,
N.S.), writes the author: "Accept of my thanks for your most readable
and refreshing book. I am delighted with it. Brought up among the
Highlanders I appreciate some of the chapters more than others; but the
book as a whole is excellent. I only wish it were ampler in its
details."
"As the title indicates, the aim of the writer is to give to the people
of to-day an idea of how the settlers lived in their homes, as apart
from their struggles as a community for political and commercial rights.
In this he has been eminently successful, and a valuable picture of the
social life as it then was has been preserved for future
generations."--_Winnipeg Tribune._

Personal and Press Comments
"The book is of fascinating interest, and gives authentic
information not elsewhere to be obtained on the stirring events of
the early history of Manitoba. It is handsomely printed, with
numerous portraits and other engravings."--_Onward._
"The reader will readily perceive that one who has lived so long in
such varied scenes as have fallen to the lot of Dr. Young must have
witnessed many things worthy of record, and will rejoice with the
present writer that the venerable author, notwithstanding his
characteristic modesty, was prevailed upon, after much entreaty, to
send forth this charming volume."--_Mail and Empire._
"An interesting chapter is devoted to the Fenian Raid of 1871;
another to Dr. Lachlan Taylor's tour among the missions in the
'Great Lone Land,' taken from Dr. Taylor's own report and journal;
and still another chapter recounts the history of the early
educational movement in the West. On the whole the book is a very
interesting and indeed valuable one, not only to members of the
author's Church, but also to the general reader."--_Ottawa
Citizen._
