During the last thirty years the question has been agitated of making a railroad to connect the great sea port of Halifax, the principal English stronghold on the Atlantic Coast, with the fortified port of Quebec, situated in the interior of British North America, and at length the day dawns on which this great project is to be realised. What, then, should be the route of this Intereolonial Railway, which will later be extended even to the Shores of the Pacific? On its choice may depend the safety of the colonies and the continuance of their connection with Great Britain. The English Parliament has just promised its guarantee to the amount of three millions of pounds towards its construction which shews us the deep interest the English people attach to the preservation of their colonies. Lord John Russell, in his remarkable address to the House ot Lords on this question, has ably expressed the views of the English states on this subject. In this same way, the noble Lord observes that the smaller States, as Portugal, Switzerland, and others, have already found and Still find the protection of the larger ones, so too has Canada a right to expect protection, if some powerful neighbor wished to take possession of it unjustly. The history of the past shews that the attacks of great States upon lesser ones have sometimes brought down a severe retribution upon the aggressors.

In the four years between 1881 and 1885, Canada was forged into one nation by the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Last Spike reconstructs the incredible story of how some 2,000 miles of steel crossed the continent in just five years, exactly half the time stipulated in the contract. Pierre Berton recreates the adventures that were part of this vast undertaking, the railway on the brink of bankruptcy, with one hour between it and ruin, the extraordinary land boom of Winnipeg in 1881–1882, and the epic tale of how William Van Horne rushed 3,000 soldiers over a half-finished railway to quell the Riel Rebellion. Dominating the whole saga are the men who made it all possible, a host of astonishing characters, Van Horne, the powerhouse behind the vision of a transcontinental railroad, Rogers the eccentric surveyor, Onderdonk the cool New Yorker, Stephen, the most emotional of businessmen, Father Lacombe the black-robed voyageur, Sam Steele of the North West Mounted Police, Gabriel Dumont, the Prince of the Prairies, more than 7,000 Chinese workers toiling and dying in the canyons of the Fraser Valley, and many more, land sharks, construction geniuses, politicians, and entrepreneurs, all of whom played a role in the founding of the new Canada.

Having had the opportunity of reading "A Critical Review of the Recent Trainmen's Strike on the G.T.R." I am free to say that it contains information, illustrates points, presents views that will be new to most people, and calculated to clear away many misconceptions. It bears evidence of a full knowledge of the subject and a candid and sincere desire on the part of the writer to present facts in their true light without fear or favor, and its timely publication cannot fail to prove beneficial in many respects both to union and non-union men, to business men, and the peopte of this country generally - James MacDonald, Retired Manufacturer, Stratford, 6 Aug 1910. The book may be read online.
