Bachelor block : a story of Albertland as related in the letters & manuscripts of the Brookes family
Description: "As is indicated by the sub-title, my intention when compiling this volume was not to copy the letters and other works in their entirety, but to select from them and bind into a narrative, all material relevant to the story of Albertland. This entailed the elimination of masses of personal and repetitive matter unrelated to my purpose, the reconstruction of confused passages, the gathering of sentences into paragraphs and chapters, and in cases where several accounts were available, the welding of them into one. Throughout I have endeavoured to preserve the language and style of the original manuscripts, and in this I feel I have been successful."--Preface/E.J. Halfpenny.
