The Island of Canada

by Suthren, Victor

CAD $24.95

Canada has the longest coastline of any nation on earth, together with the world’s largest lake and river system. It can be thought of as an island nation. Victor Suthren, expert on maritime history, shows how the oceans and lakes of Canada have shaped our nation. From the earliest days of Inuit and Aboriginal hunters, the Norse, Basque, Spanish and French adventurers and fishermen to the explorers of the Pacific coast and the Arctic, the royal fleets of Britain and France, privateers, pirates and merchantmen, the fur trade and the great Age of Sail, here is a sweeping history that traces the development of the Canadian psyche as it has been shaped by its waters.
