Riendeau A Roger E. Brief History of Canada
A Brief History of Canada.
Publisher: Facts on File.
Date: 2007.
Pages: 464.
Format: PDF.
Language: English.
All too often Americans dismiss Canadians as a nondescript people living above the 49th parallel with a boring history. On the contrary, as Riendeau (Univ. of Toronto) demonstrates in his credible analysis of the Canadian past, Canada has a history as vibrant as any in the world. The book covers a wide range of topics-geographical features, the Norse discovery, the fall of New France, nationhood, and finally, the mode era. Riendeau has written a good text enriched by photos, maps, and a bibliography for further reading.
