The Canadian Red River Exploring Expedition - St. Boniface Cathedral, Red River, 1858. Creator: Unknown
The Canadian Red River Exploring Expedition - St. Boniface Cathedral, Red River, 1858. This is the most imposing building in the settlements on the banks on the Red River and the Assinniboine. It possesses no external architectural beauty, but its interior is very prettily decorated. The twin spires of St. Boniface can be seen for a great distance from any part of the boundless level prairies by which it is surrounded. It possesses a very sweet-toned peal of bells; and no sound in Red River is so delightful to the weary voyageur or the stranger on his arrival as the chimes of St. Boniface breaking the stillness of the morning or evening air. Before and after service on Sunday the open space in front of the main entrance is crowded with French half-breeds, dressed in their gayest attire, and wearing all the outward appearances which belong to careless freedom and half-wild rural happiness'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
