Abstract

The article discusses two books, "Dominion: The Railway and the Rise of Canada" by Stephen R. Bown and "New World Dreams: Canadian Pacific Railway and the Golden Northwest" by David Laurence Jones, that explore the history and impact of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). Bown's book delves into the various aspects of the construction of the CPR, including the dreams of politicians, the engineering challenges, and the resistance faced from Indigenous peoples. Jones's book focuses on the role of the CPR in bringing settlers, tourists, and goods to the West, and features a collection of artwork and photographs. Together, these books provide a comprehensive understanding of the significance of the CPR in shaping Canada's history. [Extracted from the article]
