Description
The Canadian Pacific Railway: a nation-building endeavour that spanned over 3,000 kilometres of track, driven through inhospitable terrain. Its construction was a defining event of its era, marked by greed, hubris, and the struggles of those who built it. This gripping account explores the adventures and hardships of explorers and surveyors, the resistance of Indigenous peoples, and the terrific and horrific work of thousands of labourers.
