Recently I had to do a report in school, i wasn't sure what to write about. My gradmother had bought this book a while ago and had recomended it to me. I wasnt really into these types of books, however i read it to see if i could write my report on. Let me tell you- as soon as i picked this book up, i didnt put it down. One of the best books i have ever read. I finished it in 2 days. I reccomend it to any one that wants to learn about canada and its history. Or just for a good read.
