"In 1792 Thomas Douglas 5th Earl of Selkirk undertook an extensive tour through the Scottish Highlands and became convinced that emigration thence was unavoidable. He also recognized the need of some controlling hand to direct it. He first conceived the idea of a settlement at the Red River now Winnipeg but this did not materialize until 1811. The above work was partly written as a defense against various reports which had subsequently been spread concerning his colonization schemes. In it he speaks of the tide of emigration to the U.S.A. and suggests that this emigration might be turned to Canada. He also speaks at length of the success of his settlement at Prince Edward Island which he had founded when his first attempts at the Red River had not met with success". Lande. Edinburgh.

Cgc. Peel 3-411. "One of the classics of early western Canadian travel literature". The Earl of Southesk had toured the northwest in 1858-60 when buffalo herds still offered sport to the gentleman hunter. Looping from Fort Garry to Jasper's House down to Bow Fort and back to Edmonton he missed an intended trip through hostile Blackfoot and Cree country. Publishing after a twenty-year interval Southesk collated his memory with the reports of other travelers but retrained items from his diary in their original freshness. For instance a ridiculous encounter when two splendidly dressed Indigenouss entered his tent while he was washing himself in his India rubber bath. "We stared at one another for a moment then a radiant smile came over their faces and there was a general laugh after which I continued my sponging to their evident wonder and amazement". Southesk summarizes: "Long wearisome riding indifferent monotonous country no sport to speak of hard bed upon ground hot sun wet no companion of my own class; nevertheless I am happier than I have been for years".
