Some aspects of the historical geography of the Red River Settlement from 1812 to 1870
It has often been observed that Canada has evolved from six different growth points, four of them coastal centres -- the Atlantic coast, the Quebec lowlands, the Hudson Bay lowlands, the British Columbian coast -- the two of them interior settlements -- Upper Canada and the Red River Valley of Manit...
