An Anglican minister and missionary in Canada, Rev. Adam Townley was also co-editor of the "Churchman's Friend," a 16-page monthly publication that sought to promote and defend high church theology. With his colleague and co-editor Reverend Edward H. Dewar, Rev. Townley released the first issue in October 1855 from Paris, Canada West. Production soon moved to Windsor, Canada West. Publication ceased in 1857, after a short and controversial run. Rev. Townley was also step-father to Rev. C.E. Thomson, himself the successor to Rev. John Smithurst at St. John the Evangelist church in Elora. It is presumably this relationship that led to his correspondence being included in the Rev. Smithurst collection acquired by Bruce Peel Special Collections at the University of Alberta.

The history of Western Canada would be very different if not for the development of railroads in the 1880s linking Canada east to west. Until the Second World War, most long distance passenger travel was done by rail. The railroad companies found ways to serve their passengers in their passenger cars, but also at their hotels, conveniently located at major rail destinations. Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, Grand Trunk Railway, Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound Railway (OA&PS), Canadian National Railways (CNR), and Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) all built hotels along their routes. Many of the hotels changed hands between rivals, but here they are represented together through their menu offerings.
