Our pilot, Jean Baptiste, his kiddies and his cattle

Item consists of one photograph of Jean Baptiste and his children. The photograph was likely taken on Dean's 1908 voyage. Cameron has written the following on the verso: "Jean Baptiste Showan, the Cree pilot of the H.B.C's steamer on Peace River. He has made a white man's house but a teepee still looks good to him."

Canadian no. 1 hard wheat : the hall-mark for the world's wheat

Item consists of one photograph of wheat, possibly taken during Agnes Deans Cameron's 1908 trip to Herschel Island documented in "The New North." Similar photographs of wheat fields appear in chapter 24.

Cameron has written on the verso of the photograph: "Canadian no. 1 hard wheat - the hall-mark of the world's wheat. Canadian prairie soil produces 40 bushels to the acre of this 'bread for the nations'." She has also included notation "Chap. 24, No 3" and perhaps intended it for publication. As Cameron took many of the photographs during her journey, it is presumed she is the creator of this photograph.
