A History of Canada

Bison Books

Convincing proof that Canadian history is anything but dull, this book recounts the action-filled careers of some of the country's most successful and violent adventurers, licit and illicit. From Elizabethan privateers seeking fortune off the coasts of Newfoundland to the courtly warriors of Acadia, from the wildly successful letter-of-marque ships of Liverpool, Nova Scotia to the vicious sea fights of the War of 1812, Horwood and Butts reconstruct the lives of the country's finest fighting seamen. Inland, they consider the less reputable careers of the gangs who fought for control of gold and timber in the raw frontier settlements that would one day be Canada. Featuring plently of fast-paced action Bandits and Privateers brings the excitement of Canadian history to life.

Corner Brook: A Social History of a Paper Town (Newfoundland History Series, 3)

Toward the end of the eighteenth century, when western Newfoundland (Canada) was still known as the French Shore, a few pioneer families began to settle in Bay of Islands. From the early settlements of Curling, Humbermouth, Brake's Cove and others in the Bay of Islands, grew the city of Corner Brook. Through prose and photographs, Harold Horwood, one of Canada's most distinghuished writers, gives us an exciting and descriptive account of the social history of one of the most beautiful cities in the country.Situated at the mouth of the magnificent Humber River, Corner Brook was selected by one of the most extraordinary entrepreneurs of the century, Sir Eric Bowater, as the centrepiece in his vast pulp and paper empire. Bowater's was his company, and Corner Brook was his town. As the company grew and developed, so too did the town.In this research, Horwood misses no opportunity to relay firsthand accounts of this great industrial entreprise and this beautifu! l city, from the first pioneers, the humble loggers and mill workers to distinghuished managers and owners. The book ends with the recent transition of ownership by Bowater to Kruger Incorporated.
