Publisher's Synopsis
Canada is a country of contrasts. Stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, its geography includes rainforests, deserts, and arctic tundra . . . yet most of its citizens live in a strip of land 100 miles wide, strung along the border with the United States. This sweeping history weaves together Canada's diverse strands, from pre-European days to the 21st century. Featuring 15 removable facsimile documents -- including Samuel de Champlain's 1632 map, John McCrae's handwritten notes for his poem In Flanders Fields, and the 1982 Constitution -- plus 150 photographs, "The Story of Canada" is hands-on history at its finest."
