There appears to be a few different versions of this publication, with different pagination and slightly different cover graphics— our copy matches Peel 1971 (1908?). Printed and distributed to encourage settlement in the central and western provinces, this booklet contains information relevant to those considering a move to western Canada. There is a map and information about the types of land and farming opportunities available in the various sections of each province (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia) as well as details pertaining to schools, churches, law and order, and railroads.
