Trail of iron: The CPR and the birth of the West, 1880-1930 - Hardcover
Beautifully illustrated history of the titanic struggle to build a transcontinental railroad across the Canadian wilderness. Presenting even more challenges than the US version, the railway eventually tied the country together and united scattered settlements and distant provinces into one nation. This book provides a complete history not only of how the men who envisioned the railway built it across some of the most hostile territory in the world but also the effect it had on the people who used it: the immigrants, farmers, miners, lumber men, etc. who became the new Canadians. Lavishly illustrated with decorative endpapers that show a full map of the system. 192 pages.
