"My first sight of the country, which was to exert such an important influence on my career, was, when after crossing the more cultivated wheat-belt of Manitoba, the wonders of the Prairie flashed upon my eyes in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Words fail to describe my impressions of that amazing land. Limitless horizons extended over endless sweeps of virgin soil." - C.W. Jefferys
