E-text prepared by Janet Kegg and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Pioneers in Canada" by Sir Harry Johnston is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the adventures and experiences of early European explorers and settlers in Canada, focusing particularly on their interactions with the indigenous populations and the natural environment. The book aims to detail the historical context and motivations behind the expansion of the British Empire, highlighting the trials and tribulations faced by those pioneers. At the start of the text, Johnston sets the stage by explaining the broader purpose of his series, which intends to recount real-life adventures in unexplored territories. He reflects on the journeys of various historical figures, including Jacques Cartier and John Cabot, who made significant contributions to the early exploration of North America. The opening chapters present an outline of the migration patterns of early humans, the encounters between Europeans and Native Americans, and the essential geographical features that shaped these exploratory narratives. Johnston's approach intertwines scientific observations with storytelling, providing readers with insights into both the landscape and the historical implications of European colonization in Canada.
