Description:Thomas Douglas, Fifth Earl of Selkirk (1771-1820), is known to most Canadians as a Scots laird who founded a colony at Red River in 1811. Selkirk's efforts at Red River were not merely an isolated episode in his life, however, but rather the culmination of it. He had been involved in North American colonization since the early years of the century, and had established settlements in both Prince Edward Island and Upper Canada before turning to the West. Moreover, Selkirk did not approach colonization merely as an individual who sought to populate a new country, but as an experimenter in social policy by which those considered redundant in their native lands could find a meaningful place for themselves in other climes. In the first years of the nineteenth century Selkirk published extensively, although unsystematically, on the subjects of political economy and reform. This volume, the first of two which will collect and reprint Selkirk's published writings, deals with the period before 1809. In a lengthy introduction, J.M. Bumsted places these early writings in the context both of Selkirk's life and of his times. The result is a different Selkirk from the one usually encountered in the textbooks. He emerges not merely as a man of action but also one of ideas.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
