Canada: An Illustrated History - Derek Hayes - Photo Book - Hardcover

Daring. Drama. Diplomacy. From exploration and conquest to the forging of a nation, this remarkable book charts the course of Canadian history. Through more than 440 carefully selected images and an engaging text, it relates the fascinating stories of a nation in the making. Here are the events, the newsmakers, and the ordinary folk that shaped the Canadian experience. Native peoples have lived in Canada for thousands of years. Europeans discovered this mysterious "new-found lande" when it barred a route to China. Canada An Illustrated History encompasses these early times and goes on to present a national history both wide-ranging and compelling. This innovative book not only addresses all the expected themes from the early days of exploration and settlement through Confederation to Canada's contribution to the two world wars and the rise of the Canada we know today—it also reveals many lesser-known and fascinating facets of Canadian history. * Hardcover, 12 x 91/2 inches, * 288 pages * Over 440 illustrations * Full colour throughout * Publisher: Douglas & McIntyre This used photo book is in a good condition with minor wear to the pages, binding, and possible minor marks within.
