- catalog abstract ""In The Frontier World of Edgar Dewdney, Brian Titley challenges us to reconsider the motivations and machinations of those who are remembered as our pioneer nation builders. Dewdney is portrayed as a representative of a class of immigrant-adventurers who saw in the Western Canadian frontier an opportunity for self-aggrandizement. He viewed public office not as an end in itself but as a means to personal wealth. This is a critical biography in which the themes of racism, imperialism, speculation, and patronage are never far from view."--BOOK JACKET.".
