The Story of Our Country Vol. 1 of 6: A History of Canada for Four Hundred Years (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Story of Our Country Vol. 1 of 6: A History of Canada for Four Hundred Years<br><br>Through the shaded aisles of primeval forests over thousands of miles of lake and river and wilderness echoed the sounds of that hundred years of war between French and English for the possession of a Continent. Out of these struggles developed the striking incidents of the Revolutionary period and the first con?ict for Canadian independence of the United States; out of these new conditions came the memories of a Canadian war in r8r2 which was fought for freedom as fully and marked by episodes as heroic as were the con?icts of ancient Greek or Spartan modern Pole or Belgian the men of Scotland or Ireland or England.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
