| 520 | _a"Next Year" by Harry Pick is a semi-historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative chronicles the exploits and challenges faced by the Barr Colonists, a group of British immigrants led by an ambitious church parson, as they journey into the Canadian wilderness. Through their eyes, the reader experiences the trials of starting anew in a foreign land and the often comic yet tragic circumstances that accompany their ambitious endeavor. The opening portion of the narrative introduces the Barr Colonists aboard the S.S. Lake Manitoba, detailing their cramped and chaotic conditions during the voyage from England to Canada. Amidst the discomfort, the characters emerge, defining their identities and aspirations—in particular, Bertrand Paul Tressider, a young man with dreams of ranching, and Sam Potts, a witty and irreverent fellow. As they voyage across the Atlantic, discussions turn to the prospects of land ownership in the treacherous but promising Saskatchewan valley. With humor and a touch of cynicism, this beginning sets the stage for the colonists' encounters with both the land and each other, highlighting their hopes and the hard realities they will face.
