| Target Audience Note: | Introduces some of Canadian history's most illustrious and unusual people. But who are they and what contribution have they made to Canada? From explorers to Native leaders, from unlikely heroes to visionary peacemakers, from pioneers to politicians, this volume looks at forty-one movers and shakers. Through these stories, we learn what life was like in early Canada, and how one individual can contribute to, shape and even change the course of Canadian history.--adapted from book jacket. |
