Reviews

[Ian · Rating 4 out of 5]

A detailed survey of European exploration, wars and colonization in what is now Canada in the 1500s up to the Lord Durham report of 1840 with most attention paid to the Seven Years War and War of 1812. The cast of historical characters is large with appearances by John Cabot, Henry Hudson, , Samuel de Champlain, LaSalle, Alexander Mackenzie, Laura Secord, President George Washington & Sir John A. Macdonald. A good movie which is about the same era & geography is "Last of the Mohicans" starring Daniel Day-Lewis. Beware however there is a fair amount of "purple prose" anachronistic for any 21st Century reader.

This book was both educational and interesting. I wanted to learn more about Canada for the past few years and I think this book was a good introduction. It covered a large chunk of Canada's history in a very straightforward way. The book is written in chronological order and is very fast-paced. So if you want to learn a little bit about most of Canada's major historic events so you can find something you want to research further, this is the perfect book to read.
