As F. Hedley Auld said in his foreword to the original 1953 edition, Peel's 'Bibliography' 'pictures kaleidoscopically the occupation and development of a region of great agricultural importance which became in the course of a few decades the new home of a multitude, many of whom had previously been landless people'. Ingles and Distad's edition should prove valuable to students and academics interested in the history of the prairie provinces, prairie writers or even the pattern of immigration within Canada itself.
