Pierre Berton's Very Readable Autobiography

My wife and I were traveling in Canada last year.....I asked several Canadians, if there was one author to read to get a sense of the culture and history of Canada, who would it be ? Unanimously, the answer was "Pierre Berton". I picked this book up in a used book store near Toronto last summer, and it was one of the best books I have ever read. Starting with Berton's childhood in the Klondike country, the book is sprinkled with humor, especially Berton's early days as newpaper reporter. If you like to read about Canada, this is an excellent book by an excellent author.
