Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Historical Review, 1920, Vol. 1: New Series of the Review of Historical Publications Relating to Canada (Founded 1898) There were other reasons, moreover, which seemed to suggest that the time was ripe for enlarging the scope of the Review. Historical studies in Canada, which were in some respects in their infancy a quarter of a century ago, have become every year more vigorous; and there is now a large body of historical students, not. Only in Canada, but also in England and the United States, em gaged in sifting the vast masses of new material relating to Cana dian history which recent years have brought to light. Apart, however, from some admirable french-canadian periodicals, such as the Bulletin des Recherches Historiques, the Revue Canadienne, and Le Canada Francois, there is almost no medium in Canada through which the occasional work of these historical students. May be given to the public. In the United States there are many such historical journals. Not only are there periodicals of a national character, like the American Historical Review, but many sections of the country, many individual states even, have their own historical quarterlies. It seemed, therefore, a reproach to Canadians - to English-speaking Canadians, at any rate - that they had no similar vehicle for the publication of original materials relating to their own history. It is intended, for the present, to confine the scope of the review to Canadian history. But an attempt will be made to interpret this programme in the most liberal sense. As in The Review of Historical Publications relating to Canada, not only Canadian history in the stricter sense, but geography, economics, . Archaeology, ethnology, law, education, and imperial relations, in so far as they relate to Canada, will fall under review. Nor will history in the making be neglected, as against history that is made. It will, moreover, be the aim of the editors to make the review as broadly national as possible. The services of historical scholars in all parts of the Dominion will be enlisted, both as contributors and as reviewers; and in particular, an attempt will be made to make the review a connecting link between english-canadian and french-canadian scholarship. There is an amount of admirable historical work being done by French Canadians, of which English-speaking Canadians are, unhappily, all too ignorant.

Download or read book Blood and Daring written by John Boyko and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood and Daring will change our views not just of Canada's relationship with the United States, but of the Civil War, Confederation and Canada itself. In Blood and Daring, lauded historian John Boyko makes a compelling argument that Confederation occurred when and as it did largely because of the pressures of the Civil War. Many readers will be shocked by Canada's deep connection to the war—Canadians fought in every major battle, supplied arms to the South, and many key Confederate meetings took place on Canadian soil. Filled with engaging stories and astonishing facts from previously unaccessed primary sources, Boyko's fascinating new interpretation of the war will appeal to all readers of history.

Download or read book The 1711 Expedition to Quebec written by Adam Lyons and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1711, the newly formed Great Britain launched its first attempt to conquer French North America. The largest military force ever assembled to fight on the continent was dispatched and combined with colonial American units in Boston before proceeding up the St Lawrence River for Quebec. An additional colonial force set out from Albany to march on Montreal - but neither Briton nor colonist reached their respective targets. Adam Lyons looks at the expedition as a product of the turbulent political environment at the end of Queen Anne's reign and as a symbol of a shift in politics and strategy. Its failure proved to be detrimental to the reputation of the expedition's naval commander, Rear-Admiral Sir Hovenden Walker, but Lyons shows how true blame should lie with his political master, Secretary of State Henry St John, who ensured the expedition's failure by maintaining absolute control and secrecy. The 1711 Expedition to Quebec demonstrates how the expedition helped to alter British policy by renewing an interest in 'blue water', or maritime, operations that would gain dominance for Britain in commerce and at sea. This strategy would later see huge success, ultimately resulting in the fall of Quebec to Wolfe and the eventual conquest of French North America in the Seven Years War.
Download or read book O D Skelton written by Norman Hillmer and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When O.D. Skelton became Prime Minister Mackenzie King's foreign policy advisor in 1923, he was already a celebrated critic of the status quo in international and domestic affairs, a loyal Liberal Party man, and a fervent nationalist who believed Canada needed to steer a path independent of Britain. Two years later, he became the permanent head of Canada's Department of External Affairs. Between then and his tragic death in 1941, Skelton created Canada's professional diplomatic service, staffing it with sharp young men such as Lester B. Pearson. Skelton's importance in Ottawa was unparalleled, and his role in shaping Canada's world was formative and crucial. Using research from archives across Canada and around the world, Norman Hillmer presents Skelton not only as a towering intellectual force but as deeply human - deceptively quiet, complex, and driven by an outsize ambition for himself and for his country. O.D. Skelton is the definitive biography of the most influential public servant in Canada's history, written by one of the most prolific Canadian historians of international affairs and the editor of Skelton's voluminous papers.

Download or read book A History of Canadian Economic Thought written by Robin Neill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1991-06-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A History of Canadian Economic Thought, Robin Neill relates the evolution of economic theory in Canada to the particular geographical and political features of the country. Whilst there were distinctively Canadian economic discourses in nineteenth-century Ontario and early twentieth-century Quebec, Neill argues that these have now been absorbed into the broader North American mainstream. He also examines the nature and importance of the staple theory controversy and its appositeness for the Canadian case. With full accounts of the work of major Canadian economists including John Rae, H.A. Innis and Harry Johnson, A History of Canadian Economic Thought is the first definitive treatment of the subject for 30 years.
