Synopsis
Excerpt from The Intercolonial: A Historical Sketch of the Inception, Location, Construction and Completion of the Line of Railway Uniting the Inland and Atlantic Provinces of the Dominion, With Maps and Numerous Illustrations
These words were penned forty-four years ago and they are worthy of preservation, not only for the correctness of view expressed and for the enunciation of a policy which has been entirely carried out, but for the modern language and tone in which the writer clothed his argu ment. The mind which, in those days, could judge what railways would efi'ect, and could foreshadow what has taken half a century to accom plish, must have been of no ordinary kind, and, on the completion of the Intercolonial Railway it seems a fitting time to remember Henry Fair bairn and mention his name with honour.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This compelling text delves into the crux of the Maine Boundary Question, a complex dispute between Great Britain and the United States that threatened to derail the construction of a vital railway in the 19th century. The author traces the issue to the ambiguities embedded in the Treaty of Paris of 1783, which laid the groundwork for territorial divisions. Amidst rival claims and diplomatic negotiations, the book sheds light on the decisive role played by the Ashburton Treaty of 1842, which aimed to resolve the longstanding boundary dispute. The author's insights illuminate the intricacies of international diplomacy and the far-reaching consequences of seemingly minor adjustments to boundary lines, ultimately shaping the geopolitical landscape of North America. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332057375_0
