Published in 1896 by a Canadian author of juvenile fiction James MacDonald Oxley (1855-1907), „The Boy Tramps Or, Across Canada" features adventures across Canada. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Oxley J. MacDonald attended Dalhousie University and Harvard. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1878.

He started writing in 1889 and wrote 31 books for boys - adventure tales centered around the theme of a boy whose courage is tested in the wilderness.
