Alberta, Past and Present, Historical and Biographical
By John Blue, B.A. (1924)


Foreword

The design of this work is to give a readable and comprehensive view of the history of Alberta from the earliest times. The author has divided the history of the province into three periods. The first period will cover the early explorations and rule of the Fur Traders. The second period concerns rival fur companies, the Selkirk Purchase, etc.-1811-1821. The third period, which in many ways is the most wonderful of all, deals with the events since 1821—tells the story of the marvelous transformation of the Great Lone Land into the rich and populous Alberta of today.

The story is one of intense and instructive interest to the student of Canadian history. To trace the development of the political institutions of the newest province of the Dominion and compare it with the development of similar institutions in the older provinces of Canada, is an interesting study in comparative politics and highly illustrative of the manner in which responsible government grows in free communities.

The wonderful material development of the province since it was opened for settlement is a story of enthralling interest. Less than fifty years ago the Blackfeet and the Crees roamed the plains and camped on the sites of the principal cities of the province. They hunted the buffalo and the antelope over the unploughed acres that now comprise the farms and homesteads of half a million people. Elk and deer by thousands found shelter in the foot-hills and mountain passes where now scores of mining towns and villages prosper and flourish. Less than fifty years ago there was not a mile of railway between the Red River and the Rocky Mountains. Today there are over six thousand miles of railway in the province of Alberta alone, connected with all the great transcontinental systems of Canada and the United States. Men traveled by dog sleighs, canoes or Red River carts. The only civilized persons who had penetrated the Great Lone Land were the Hudson's Bay traders, the hunters and trappers, the missionaries and the prospectors on their way to the gold diggings of Yale and Caribou.

Today there are nearly three-quarters of a million of a population within the area that now comprises the province. Many of the old Indian trails have been surveyed and have become permanent highways. The people have schools and churches; colleges and universities; municipal institutions; thousands of miles of telephone communication; banks and great commercial and trading houses. The province, through its vast resources and the energy of its people—drawn from the great races of the world—is rapidly becoming a powerful factor in the commercial and political life of the Dominion of Canada.

The story of this wonderful transformation is worthy of record. An earnest attempt has been made by the author and the publishers to present the great mass of facts with a sense of their due proportion and ultimate value as the true material of history. The author has had the advantage of a long residence in Western Canada, and has had the resources of the Provincial Library at Edmonton, the library of the University of Alberta at his disposal, as well as the excellent collection of Canadiana in the possession of Hon. Dr. A. C. Rutherford, the first Premier of Alberta. Many valuable suggestions have been received from the Officers of the Alberta Historical Society, and from many of the old-timers to whom the rapid development of the last few years is more make a dream than the natural events of history.

 

 

[Electric Scotland Note: We had hoped to bring you a great new educational advertising project to bring you information about Alberta of today and had communication with Cindy Ady, Minister for Tourism, Parks and Recreation, Ms. Noelle Aune, Executive Director of Media, Public Relations & e-Marketing and Chris Lamb, Director of e-Marketing.  Chris Lamb told me that it was considered and was to have gone ahead but due to a last minute cut in the advertising budget they had to pull out at the last minute. We are obviously sorry about this as it would have been the first of its kind advertising as the Media company, Rare Method, told me they had some 88 articles ready to go and their Andrew Forrin was quite excited about the prospects.]

[Electric Scotland Note: We've made available the biographies of any Scots in these 2 biographical volumes but we've made the whole list available in the event anyone wants to know if a relation is included. Note also that is was not possible to identify all Scots from the biographies due to lack of information so it's possible we missed a few. I do note with interest that some that we can't identify as Scottish were raised in very Scottish areas such as Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia and also went to Scottish founded universities. Quite a few also went into business with other Scots. Where we thought someone was of Scots descent but it doesn't make it clear in the biography we have searched the web for any reference and if we found it we've included them here.]

Books by John McDougall

John McDougall was born in 1842 in Sydenham, Upper Canada to George and Elizabeth McDougall. George McDougall was a Scottish Methodist missionary and, as a result, John grew up attending mission schools and learning to speak Ojibwa and Cree. He wrote several books about his life growing up in Alberta and you can read his books here!
