History of the Catholic Church in Western Canada, Vol. 1

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Catholic Church in Western Canada, Vol. 1: From Lake Superior to the Pacific (1659-1895) Speaking of illustrations, we might perhaps take the liberty of pointing out two which we think de serve special mention. We refer to that which represents the famous cathedral with the turrets twain of the poet Whittier, now for the first time shown in its authentic garb, and the portrait of the halfbreed leader of 1869 and 1885, which is from an actual and most resembling photograph, instead of a more or less fanciful sketch intended to represent him either as he was at the time of the troubles, or when he had to conceal his identity under a disguise for the sake of personal safety.
