Born in 1827, Sandford Fleming emigrated to Canada from his native Kirkcaldy at the age of 18, already a qualified engineer and surveyor. His achievements as a railway engineer made his name a legend in Canada. His greatest feat was the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway which was completed in 1876. In 1883 circumstances compelled the author to visit England, to recross the Atlantic and make a journey through the whole extent of Canada to the Pacific Coast. This is an account of that journey.
