The peoples of Canada

Bumsted has provided a fresh look at Canadian history, illuminating it for the present time, in a text that is readable, richly detailed, and generously illustrated. Volume 1 describes the First Peoples before contact with the earliest European visitors, and then discusses exploration;settlement in the St. Lawrence Valley and the Atlantic regions, the Conquest and its aftermath; the development of British North America in the Dominion of Canada; and the expansion of Canada's domain and its economy.
