Scoundrels, dreamers & second sons : British remittance men in the Canadian west

Zuehlke, Mark (author.).

Summary: "Beginning in 1880, thousands of young, upper-class British men with few prospects were sent to the Canadian West to distance them from British society. Still supported by their families, thus earning them the title "remittance men," these men set out to continue their lives of leisure in this new land. In Scoundrels, Dreamers & Second Sons, Mark Zuehlke traces the path of the remittance men through Western Canada, highlighting their adventures, limited successes and glorious failures."-- Provided by publisher.
