About this book

Frederick Philip Grove's autobiographical nature sketches, "Over Prairie Trails," chronicle his lonesome and frequently dangerous horse-drawn travels across thirty or so miles throughout the Manitoba countryside. He spent a difficult year away from his wife and child due to these travels. The book paints a realistic picture of a prairie landscape on the verge of modernity, ready to be permanently altered by emerging technologies.

About the author

Frederick Philip Grove

Frederick Philip Grove shaped Canadian prairie writing through fiction, essays, teaching, and close observation of rural travel. Over Prairie Trails, published in 1922, records repeated winter journeys between Gladstone and Falmouth, Manitoba, and turns difficult roads, weather, and landscape into reflective prose.
