{"product_id":"through-the-mackenzie-basin-charles-mair-9780888643261","title":"Through the Mackenzie Basin","description":"When Through the Mackenzie Basin was published in 1908, it became an immediate success as an adventure book on the unsettled regions of Northwest Canada. Many of the issues the book addresses are still topical and contentious, a century after the signing of Treaty 8. In this new edition, David Leonard's introduction puts Mair's work into its historical context, while Brian Calliou's introduction adds a First Nations perspective. Charles Mair's first-hand account of the siging of Treaty No. 8 at Lesser Slave Lake in 1899 and the distribution of scrip in the District of Athabaska \"has come to constitute the most detailed published source for the interpretation of these events,\" albeit from Mair's imperial perspective, notes Leonard, as \"a government supporter, ardent Canadian nationalist and firm believer in the British institutions.\" This edition also includes the complete text of Treaty No. 8 including signatories, the \"Order In Council Ratifying Treaty No. 8,\" and \"The Report of Commissioners for Treaty No. 8.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Mair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0888643268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780888643261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Alberta Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Charles Mair","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49161457467647,"sku":"9780888643261","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/through-the-mackenzie-basin-charles-mair-9780888643261","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
