Book Overview

Ambition, faith, and nation-building meet in these vivid portraits of the men who shaped 19th-century Canada. These lives speak across time. The Canadian Album: Men of Canada (Volume V) gathers a remarkable canadian biography anthology of statesmen, merchants, lawyers, physicians, educators, farmers, ministers and more, each accompanied by a finely written life sketch and portrait. Conceived as success by example, it traces canadian self made men rising through christian patriotism and success in business, law, medicine, education and agriculture to positions of influence in Canadian business and politics. Together, these character studies form an illustrated canadian biography and a living cross-section of Victorian era Canadian history, capturing the ideals, struggles and achievements that shaped the character of the young Dominion. For readers of any historical biography collection, researchers, and family historians alike, this volume functions as both engaging narrative and practical canadian history reference book. It stands as an early whos who in canada, a precursor to the modern dictionary of canadian biography and a rich genealogy research resource for those tracing roots in towns, professions and congregations across the Dominion. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, prepared for casual readers of history and serious collectors of heritage works alike.
