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.
Sounds interesting :) I love to read :D
ReplyDeleteAm I crazy or does this soldier favor Prince Charles.
