Review:

Seven superb stories of characters from Canada’s past. Well researched and with contemporary comparisons to 1978 politics and economics.

I couldn’t put it down. You just get sucked in to the history, almost (fortunately) like being there. I say fortunately because its always frozen, knee-deep in snow, and/or starving in the forests and tundra.
