Please See All Photos. ~ Vintage 1965 1st US Edition The Trans-Canada Highway is an artery that opens the whole width of the second-widest country in the world to any adventuring motorist. Approximately 5,000 miles of roadway span the distance between St. John's, Newfoundland, and Victoria, British Columbia. Edward McCourt set out to travel the length of this highway, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and one result of his trip is a splendid and vivid book. It could be described as a travel book, since it reflects impressions, both favourable and adverse, of Canadian scenery, places, and people. But, more than that, the account is the author's revelation of himself as he reveals his country. A reader can travel entertainingly along the Trans-Canada Highway with Edward McCourt, sharing his response to the magnificence of the country, his sensitivity to the atmosphere of each province and its history, and his knowledge, which produces an enlivening flow of anecdote and allusion. The mood of every place is separately and truly conveyed in glimpses of its unfamiliar aspects, and in conversations with its people along the road's stretches. Hall, Jon A (illustrator).…
