Over Prairie Trails

""Over Prairie Trails"" is a memoir written by Frederick Philip Grove, a Canadian author, about his experiences as a homesteader in Manitoba during the early 1900s. The book is a vivid account of the challenges and joys of life on the prairies, from the harsh winters and difficult farming conditions to the beauty of the natural landscape and the warmth of the community. Grove writes about his interactions with the indigenous people of the area, his struggles with isolation and loneliness, and his eventual decision to leave the prairies and pursue a career as a writer. The book is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, and offers a unique perspective on the history and culture of the Canadian prairies.Now I have already said that snow is the only really plastic element in which the wind can carve the vagaries of its mood and leave a record of at least some permanency. The surface of the sea is a wonderful book to be read with a lightning-quick eye; I do not know anything better to do as a cure for ragged nerves--provided you are a good sailor. But the forms are too fleeting, they change too quickly--so quickly, indeed, that I have never succeeded in so fixing their record upon my memory as to be able to develop one form from the other in descriptive notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
