How the English Created Canada: An Intriguing History of Explorers, Rogues, Fur Traders, Pioneers, Prime Ministers, Heroes and Scoundrels

While the English settler community may be the one most commonly discussed in Canadian history textbooks, How the English Created Canada gives a broad overview in a very readable style that will appeal to a wide range of learners. Similar to the other books in this series, the content covers some of the key people and events that affected the development of Canadian culture and policies. In particular, a fair bit of material deals with the relationship between the British and the French in early Canada. This book features a list of resources that could be used as a primer for a research topic. Additionally, excerpts could be used for lessons on specific people, places, or events.
