Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the Canadian Pacific Railway, a massive engineering undertaking that was begun in the late 19th century to connect Canada from coast to coast. The author examines the project from its inception, when it was first proposed as a way to secure British power in North America, to its completion in 1885. The book also explores the broader historical and geopolitical context of the railway's construction, including the westward expansion of the United States and the increasing economic importance of the Pacific Rim. Ultimately, the author argues that the Canadian Pacific Railway was a key factor in the development of Canada as a modern nation.
