Book ~ "100 Photos That Changed Canada" (2009) Mark Reid

From Indigo ~ From the Last Spike to Pierre Trudeau, from Vimy Ridge to Terry Fox, from Bob and Doug McKenzie to Ben Johnson, from Sir John A. Macdonald to Kim Campbell- these subjects come to life in 100 images that touch us, unsettle us or make us proud to be Canadian.

Over 30 writers enrich the photos with in-depth commentary, creating a complex tapestry of experience that is nostalgic, entertaining, sometimes shocking, but always memorable. A book full of reminiscences, a book to browse through and share, this beautifully designed gallery of images offers a fascinating, often personal, perspective on great moments from our history.

Great pictures representing Canada's past.

The first picture is of Aboriginal chief Maun-gua-daus in 1847!

Here is one of my favourites ... Winnie the Bear (the inspiration for Winnie The Poo) with Canadian soldier Harry Colebourn in Salisbury Plain, England, in 1914.
