Dr. John E. Foster spent many years researching and interpreting the Metis, continually re-examining his own thinking about the fur trade and the West, trying to find new lines of inquiry across disciplinary boundaries, and, playing with ideas that re-imagined the Canadian West. In From Rupert''s Land to Canada, in tribute to John''s work, his friends and colleagues further explore themes related to "Native History and the Fur Trade," "Metis History," and the "Imagined West". Contributors include Michael Payne, Nicole St-Onge, Jan Grabowski, Jennifer Brown, Heather Rollason, Frits Pannekoek, Heather Devine, Gerhard Ens, Gerry Friesen, Ted Binnema, Ian MacLaren, Rod Macleod, Tom Flanagan and Glen Campbell.

Industry Reviews

"This book is a fitting tribute to a fine historian." Alberta History ".ce recueil demeure un ajout fort utile au domaine en plein essor des etudes sur la Terre de Rupert." Carolyn Podruchny, Revue d'histoire de l'Amerique francaise "This collection of a dozen essays by the late John Foster's colleagues and students forms a fitting tribute to a scholar whose influence on Western Canadian studies extended far beyond his list of publications...Taken together, this impressive collection of essays forms a handy summary of the current state of Western Canadian scholarship in its chosen areas, and takes pains to point the way forward to future research." British Journal of Canadian Studies
