The Great Settlement is a historical non-fiction book written by Charles Ernest Fayle and originally published in 1915. The book provides a detailed account of the settlement of the Canadian West during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author explores the challenges faced by the pioneers who ventured into the vast and untamed wilderness of the Canadian prairies, including the harsh climate, the lack of infrastructure, and the conflicts with indigenous peoples. Fayle also delves into the political and economic factors that drove the settlement of the West, including the Canadian government's efforts to populate the region and the lure of cheap land and abundant natural resources. The book is richly illustrated with photographs and maps, providing readers with a vivid sense of the landscape and the people who inhabited it. Overall, The Great Settlement is a fascinating and informative read that offers a unique perspective on the history of Western Canada. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Canadian history, the settlement of the West, or the experiences of pioneers in North America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
