Sir John A. Macdonald Fonds, MG 26 a Finding Aid 104 Part II Oversize Items Sir John A. Macdonald fonds, MG 26 A Finding Aid 104 Part II Oversize items Introduction Finding aid 104 Part II contains an item level list of oversize material in Volumes 597 to 802. The documents were separated from their original location within the Sir John A. Macdonald fonds for conservation purposes. Some of the oversize items, particularly the election posters, have been microfilmed in their original location in the fonds. Because of the fragile nature of many of the oversize documents, researchers are asked to first consult the microfilm to view an item if possible. The former reference column in the finding aid indicates the volume and page number of the item in its original location. Use the microfilm conversion list to select the correct microfilm reel. Volumes 803 and 804 contain additional items which have been withdrawn from circulation. Researchers must consult the copies available in other volumes or on microfilm. Prepared by J.

  • The Sherbrooke, Eastern Townships & Kennebec
    THE SHERBROOKE, EASTERN TOWNSHIPS & KENNEBEC RAILWAY and the experiment with wooden railways – by Carl Riff The beginnings of a network of local railways in the Province of Quebec surfaced in the years following the American Civil War, and the Confederation of Canada in 1867. Concern was developing about the almost daily accounts of trainloads of Canadians emigrating to the United States. Land suitable for the traditional agricultural Quebec society existed in a strip along the St. Lawrence, and in 1868 the members of the Quebec legislature decided that they were going to have to model the American system of development by heavy investment in colonization railroads. The majority of the rail lines in the province were the iron way of the Grand Trunk Railway, but the GTR seemed more interested in getting from the Atlantic seaboard to the American Midwest, and it was almost incidental that its tracks ran through Canada at all. In 1868 there came to Quebec a railway promoter and civil engineer, one Jerome B. Hulburt from Boonville, N.Y. Like many railway promoters of the day, he was selling a railway system that was cheap to construct – one using wooden rails. During the 1870s every region developed its own local subsidiary feeder railways. In Ontario there were 3’6” light gauge railways, in Maine it was the 2’ gauge, and in New Brunswick, a 3’ gauge was popular. Admittedly all these operated with iron rails, but they were “narrow gauge” to save costs and to negotiate sharp curves, and often in hilly or even mountainous country.

He had been given the “rights to settle” from the Company of New France and later from the Company of the West Indies. Here, they traded with the Indians and, as the remnants of the dykes suggest, cultivated the soil, growing wheat and vegetables to supplement their staples of game and fish. Nicholas Denys wrote that all “the buildings of LaGiraudiere were enclosed by a fort of four little bastions , the whole made of great pickets or stakes. There were two pieces of brass canon and some swivel guns. The whole in good state of defence.” A clearing was made around the fort, where wheat was grown but the soil was too sandy for good crops, so he devoted his attention to hunting and fishing, particularly salmon fishing and the trading of furs. In the summer of 1669 while LaGiraudiere was in France, Fort Sainte Marie was captured by an English force which had been sent in the autumn of 1668 to expel the French from Port Royal.

THE CANADIAN HANDBOOK AND TOURIST'S GUIDE. INTRODUCTION. The Nooks and Corners of Canada, and. more especially of the Lower Province, in addition to the interest they awaken as important sources of Commercial and Agricultural wealth, are invested with no ordinary attraction for the Naturalist, the Antiquary, the Historian, and the Tourist in quest of pleasure or of health. We have often wondered why more of the venturesome spirits amongst our transatlantic friends do not tear themselves away, even for a few months, from London fogs, to visit our distant but more favoured clime. How is it that so few, comparatively speaking, come to enjoy the bracing air and bright summer skies of Canada ? With what zest could the enterprising or eccentric among them undertake a ramble, with rod and gun in hand, from Niagara to Labrador, over the Laurentian Chain of Moun- tains, choosing as rallying points, whereat to compare notes, the summit of Cape Eternity in the Saguenay district, and 6 Introduction.
