The Chronicles of Canada: Volume VIII - the Growth of Nationality
George M. Wrong, H. H. Langton
The Chronicles of Canada was a Canadian literary landmark. First published in 1914, it was a series of thirty-two, short, concise, freshly-written historical narratives for the lay person. It was designed to set forth, with historical continuity, the principal events and movements in Canada-from the Norse Voyages to the Railway Builders-and it quickly became a classic. Fireship Press is proud to bring this outstanding work-all 32 books combined into a nine volume set-back into print. IN VOLUME VIII THE GROWTH OF NATIONALITY - Part I The Fathers of Confederation: A Chronicle of the Birth of the Dominion by A. H. U. Colquhoun - Part II The Day of Sir John Macdonald: A Chronicle of The First Prime Minister of The Dominion by Sir Joseph Pope - Part III The Day of Sir Wilfrid Laurier: A Chronicle of the 20th Century by Oscar D. Skelton.
