The history of Canada?
What?
All of it?
Yes. A book like this needs to be looked at as a table of content. By reading through it you can be pointed to further exploration.
There are periods in our history that capture my imagination more than others. Through reading this book I have a better understanding of how events fit into our current time. It also gives me a better insight into what to look for when I am trying to find other books that explore specific events in more detail.
I took a long time to get through the book. I put it down for months at time but once I got into the last 150 years, my interest solidified and I gave the book the attention it needed.
To think that a nearly 600 page book as a good start, an index, a table of content can be a bit daunting. But now I feel that I have done the hard part and I can dive into the subjects that stand out to me.
Great fun awaits.
