R. Douglas Francis, Chris Kitzan, ""

In 1906, the Sugar Maple Tree Song was just one example of the rhapsodic pieces that touted the Canadian West as the 'promised land'. In the formative years of agricultural settlement from the mid-nineteenth century to the First World War, the Canadian government, along with the railways and other Prairie boosters, further developed and propagated the image within the widely distributed promotional literature that was used to attract millions of immigrants from all corners of the world.The West was ripe with promise for those wishing to escape religious persecution, unproductive land, or intolerable living and working conditions. Some saw the Prairies as an ideal place to create a Utopian society. Others seized the chance to take control of their own destinies in a new and exciting place. Whatever the case, the image of the West as a place of unbridled prosperity and opportunity became the dominant perception of the region at the time. This group of essays, which includes contributions from some of the best-known Prairie historians as well as some of the most promising new scholars in the field, explores this pervasive theme in western history and makes an important contribution to the historiography of the Prairie West
