Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - ''Strathcona and the Making of Canada'' is a historical book written by William Thomas Rochester Preston and originally published in 1915. The book chronicles the life and contributions of Donald Alexander Smith, also known as Lord Strathcona, a prominent Canadian businessman and politician who played a significant role in the development of Canada during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book provides a detailed account of Strathcona's life, from his early days in Scotland to his rise as a successful businessman in Canada. It explores his involvement in the fur trade, railway construction, and politics, highlighting his pivotal role in the negotiation of the purchase of Rupert's Land from the Hudson's Bay Company and his efforts to connect Canada from coast to coast through the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Preston's writing also delves into Strathcona's personal life, including his family relationships and philanthropic endeavors. The book provides a comprehensive look at the man behind the legend, shedding light on his motivations, successes, and failures. Overall, ''Strathcona and the Making of Canada'' is a well-researched and informative historical book that provides readers with a fascinating glimpse into the life and contributions of a key figure in Canadian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
