Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of Our Country, Vol. 1 of 6: A History of Canada for Four Hundred Years Years ago the writer had occasion to state that "Canada only needs to be known in order to be great." Events have since clearly indicated the accuracy of this forecast, and have impressed upon my mind the further fact that to be properly appreciated abroad a people should be familiar with its own past, proud of its own history, filled with confidence in its own resources and strength, and conscious of its own national and material development. Much has happened in the first decade of the twentieth century; but it is to be feared that only a minority of Canadians yet realize the conditions mentioned. The great mass of the people look with admiration and deserved respect upon the splendid annals of the Mother-land, her wars upon sea and shore, her heroes in history and statecraft and literature and every branch of human progress, her wealth of civilized tradition and store of constitutional liberties. Others are impressed with the vast object-lesson of United States development and the thrilling records of its war for unity and freedom. To many busy, self-centred, or very prosperous people, to hundreds of thousands of new settlers in Canada, the four hundred years of history which the Dominion boasts is more or less a sweeping shadow upon the dial of time; a matter of comparative unimportance and little interest. Yet that period includes within itself the most picturesque panorama of events in all the annals of the world.
