Canada Before Confederation, A Study in Historical Geography by Harris, R. Cole; Warkentin, John - 1974

NY: Oxford University Press, 1974 VERY GOOD 3rd Printing softcover. Once part of the collection of a genealogical society, and marked as such on the spine, prelim pages and fore-edges. All text clean, tight, and unmarked. An excellent reading or study copy. Approx. 6" x 9", 338 pages, index, many maps, figures, illustrations, graphics and photos. This book tells of the changing landscape of Canada, from the time of the first European contacts at the end of the 15th century to Confederation in 1867. A remarkable variety of cultural groups experienced and molded the distinct geographical environments of Canada - Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario, the Western Interior, and British Columbia. The authors explain how and why the land was settled, regional varieties and some of the complex relationships between the settlers, bringing to the center of attention considerations that most historical studies relegate to the peripheries: the imprint of man on the land. .
