"A Trip to Manitoba" by Mary Agnes FitzGibbon is a travel narrative likely written in the late 19th century, examining the burgeoning Canadian province of Manitoba. The book delves into the experiences of travelers visiting this region, highlighting its development due to the completion of the Canada Pacific Railway, its rich natural resources, and the cultural diversity stemming from immigration. FitzGibbon's observations about locals, including Indigenous peoples and European settlers, paint a vibrant picture of life in a quickly evolving frontier. The opening of the narrative describes the author’s journey to Manitoba, starting with the chaotic boarding of the steamer "Manitoba" at Sarnia. FitzGibbon vividly illustrates the excitement and confusion among passengers, capturing the sentiments of those eager to embark on a new adventure. As the vessel carries them across Lake Huron and beyond, she recounts the landscape, encounters with fellow passengers, and the atmosphere on board. Ultimately, this initial portion sets the stage for the traveler’s explorations and experiences in the Canadian wilderness, blending personal reflections with broader observations about the region’s character and the people inhabiting it.
