From the early days of exploration and settlement to Canada's
participation in space exploration and the 2015 federal election,
this illustrated history conveys the drama and scope of the nation.
Through accessible commentary and a wealth of images, both
well-known and obscure facets of Canadian history are presented in
this splendid compendium. Read about Canada's first newspaper, the
Halifax Gazette, which, in its first iteration, was a single sheet
of paper. Find out which Canadian bridge collapsed not once, but
twice. Discover the nation's history of crime and punishment,
firefighting, the 25-cent and $50,000 bills, Prohibition, early
aviation, and much, much more. Here also are the tales of a myriad
of individuals who shaped Canada: the famous, the infamous, the
popular and the unknown. Hayes details stories of First Nations,
separatists and statesmen, astronauts and inventors, motorists,
mail carriers, fur traders, photographers and politicians. More
than 450 illustrations accompany the text, including 200-plus
photographs, 50-plus paintings and drawings (many by Canadian
artists) and 35 historic maps, as well as posters, stamps,
cartoons, stained glass and tapestries. Canada: An Illustrated
History is a visual experience every Canadian can enjoy.
