The Canadian Pacific Railway and the Development of Western Canada, 1896-1914

By John A. Eagle

A federal cash subsidy aided CPR construction of the Crows Nest Pass Railway from Lethbridge, Alberta, to Nelson, British Columbia. The line, completed in late 1898, was designed to en-courage mining and smelting in the Kootenays and to link this region with Central Canada. This book provides an analysis of the Crows Nest Pass Agreement of 1897.
