The Peoples of Canada: A Pre-Confederation History - Softcover
The Peoples of Canada: A Pre-Confederation History, Expanded 2/e, examines the history of Canada from first contact with the earliest European settlers to 1885. Some of the highlights include pre-contact North American exploration in the 16th and 17th centuries; settlement in the Atlantic provinces, the St. Lawrence Valley and New France; the growth of the political changes that brought about the confederation of the four provinces of British North America into the Dominion of Canada; and the expansion of Canada's domain, society, and economy in the 19th century.

Review:
"Incorporates recent research on immigration and migration, settlement and land policy, town and country, rich and poor, and the best of social and economic geography, the whole illustrated with seven maps and an abundance of pictures chosen with uncommon care....Bumsted presents what facts and statistics there are and sets them firmly in a human framework by sketching biographies of typical individuals, an effective combination that few writers could improve upon."--William and Mary Quarterly
