Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. First Edition. "As President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Edward Wentworth Beatty (1877-1943) dominated the world's largest privately-owned railway system for the twenty-four years between 1918 and 1942. A man of unbounded energy and drive, he dedicated himself to the C.P.R., taking time out only to further the interests of education as Chancellor of McGill University and those of the many social welfare organizations of which he was president. This biography of a leading Canadian tells of Beatty's early days, his school and unversity activities, and his friends - those few close friends for whose regard and affection he had the greatest respect and gratitutde. The struggle between Canada's two railway systems, the contest of wills between Henry Thornton of the CNR and Beatty of the CPR is here described in full, with Beatty's long fight against nationalization forming an exciting chapter in the life of this famous Canadian." - dust jacket. 187 pages. Black and white photographic plates. Book clean, tight and unmarked with moderate wear. Above-average wear to dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart.
