Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Canada's Great Highway: From the First Stake to the Last Spike' provides a compelling firsthand account of one of the most significant engineering achievements in North American history: the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Secretan blends professional observation with personal anecdote, illustrating the daily lives of the surveyors and laborers who transformed the Canadian wilderness.
