The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
The true story of Canada's exciting past comes vividly to life in this unique book.
In simple, fast-moving text Canadian Isabel Barclay traces the development of the country, describing the life of its earliest settlers, the Eskimos and the Indians, the coming of the white man and the inevitable clashes between interested nations, the exploring and pioneering spirit that braved the wilderness, the gradual settling of the country from coast to coast, and all the hardships and the courage of the men and women who built Canada to a prosperous nation of eighteen million and made it achieve its place in the modern world.
Delightful color pictures by Cécile Gagnon help tell the story. Their uncluttered simplicity is a perfect complement to an interesting and authoritative text.
