Series comprises treatise deriving from Samuel Keefer's work on the Royal Commission appointed in 1880 to investigate the Canadian Pacific Railway. It gives accounts of the surveys made in the 1870's, the search for a suitable route through the mountains, and the selection of a Pacific terminus. A covering note from Samuel Keefer to "My dear M'Call" states that "the object of these pages is to show that there was from the first no other line for the railway in B.C. than the one that has been selected."
