This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Canadian Papers of the 4th Earl of Minto (1845-1914) are an important collection of documents that cover his time both as Military Secretary between 1883 and 1886 and as Governor General from 1899 to 1904. Born Gilbert Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, the eldest son of the 3rd Earl of Minto, he became Viscount Melgund in 1859 and the Earl of Minto in 1891. After Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, he embarked on a military career that included duty in Afghanistan and Egypt and he also gained experience in colonial administration as Private Secretary to Lord Roberts in the Cape Colony. After serving as Military Secretary and Governor General in Canada he went on to emulate his great grandfather, the 1st Lord Minto, by becoming Viceroy of India from 1905 to 1910. 1883 to 1885 saw the first of his two significant periods of involvement in Canadian history, as Military Secretary in Canada during the Governor Generalship of Lord Lansdowne (1883-1888). His papers from this time include material concerning his efforts to raise a voluntary Canadian force to serve in Egypt, the employment of Canadian forces in the imperial service more generally and the Riel Rebellion of 1885 against the Conservative Government of Sir John Macdonald. His second period of office in Canada began in 1898 when he became Governor General, serving until 1904. His papers from this period include correspondence and memoranda of conversations with Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Liberal Prime Minister. This material refers to Canadian participation in imperial defence, especially the Boer War, and to the Alaskan Boundary dispute with the USA during the Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. So, too, does his correspondence with Joseph Chamberlain, the British Colonial Secretary, and Lord Lansdowne, then Secretary for War (though later Foreign Secretary). The collection also includes interesting documents relating to his trips to the Klondike in 1900 and to Japan in 1903. Overall, Minto's Canadian papers afford a valuable insight into the relationship between the British Government and its senior Dominion during a crucial phase of British imperial history. Published from the mss. Collections of the National Library of Scotland, and with an introduction by Dr Tony McCulloch, Director of Canadian Studies at Canterbury Christ Church University, the first period, 1883-1885, covers Minto's service as Military Secretary, and comprises: Ms. 12378(i), Ms. 12507 & Mss. 12549-55; while the second period, 1899-1904, during his governorship-general, comprises: Ms. 12372(i), Ms. 12381, Ms. 12382(i), Ms. 12452(ii), & Ms. 12556-87"--Collection metadata page.

Download or read book The Canadian Career of the Fourth Earl of Minto written by Carman Miller and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Governor-General of Canada was an influential political figure of major significance at the turn of the century. The Fourth Earl of Minto, who held this office from 1898 to 1904, is regarded by some Canadian historians as a romantic hero and by others as a bungling instrument of British imperialist designs. According to the author of this monograph, he was neither. Aided by an examination of Minto's early life and personal character and an analysis of the existing political institutions, the author describes the way in which Minto discharged his duties as Governor General during this period of political change in Canada and Britain. Informative and well documented, the study will be useful to students of Canadian history and politics.

Download or read book Militia Myths written by James Wood and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2010-04-20 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cultural history of the amateur military tradition traces the origins of the citizen soldier ideal from long before Canadians donned khaki and boarded troopships for the Western Front. Before the Great War, Canada’s military culture was in transition as the country navigated an uncertain relationship with the United States and fought an imperial war in South Africa. Militia Myths explores the ideological transformation that took place between 1896 and 1921, arguing that by the end of the War, the untrained citizen volunteer had replaced the long-serving militiaman as the archetypal Canadian soldier.
