Summary: "Saddle, Sled and Snowshoe: Pioneering on the Saskatchewan in the Sixties" by John McDougall is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This narrative chronicles the experiences of the author and other pioneers as they navigate the challenges and adventures of life in the Saskatchewan region during the 1860s. The book delves into themes of survival, interaction with Indigenous peoples, and the hardships and triumphs of pioneering in a largely uncharted land. The beginning of this work introduces readers to Fort Edmonton, the central hub of trade and life in the Saskatchewan Valley, setting the stage for the author’s expeditions. McDougall recounts his journey alongside fellow travelers as they traverse the wilderness by dog-train, sharing meals of pemmican and tea during nights spent around campfires beneath starry skies. The early chapters highlight the authors’ observations of the landscape, the wildlife, and the Indigenous peoples, such as the Wood Cree, whom he encounters along the way. The themes of camaraderie among the pioneers and the stark realities of their environment are palpable as McDougall paints a vivid picture of hardship, resilience, and the beauty of the Canadian frontier.
