Three hooks In particular which combine to present a vivid, If pe- cessarily incomplete, record of the pation in the making are "Cana- wish of VIA," "Voyages From Mont- 'real Through the Continent of | North America to the Frozen and | Pacific Oceans," and "Winter Stud- les und Summer Rambles In Cana- da."
