Title: Civilizing the Wilderness : Culture and Nature in Pre-Confederation Canada and Rupert's Land
Description: In this collection of essays, A.A. den Otter explores the meaning of the concepts'civilizing'and'wilderness'within an 1850s Euro-British North American context. At the time, den Otter argues, these concepts meant something quite different than they do today. Through careful readings and researches of a variety of lesser known individuals and events, den Otter teases out the striking dichotomy between'civilizing'and'wilderness,'leading readers to a new understanding of the relationship between newcomers and Native peoples, and the very lands they inhabited. Historians and non-specialists with an interest in western Canadian native, settler, and environmental-economic history will be deeply rewarded by reading Civilizing the Wilderness.
