Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Catholic Church in Western Canada, Vol. 2: From Lake Superior to the Pacific (1659-1895)
It is not Without misgivings that the historian of the Catholic Church in Western Canada comes upon the years 1869-70. Everyone knows the trite saying that history is a conspiracy against truth. We doubt if there is a period in the whole past of man in America to which that remark can be more appro priately applied. Hence, in order to reproduce the events of those troubled times with the complexion that is really theirs, we must run counter to the fables and fabrication, the groundless surmises and misrepresentations which racial and religious preju dices have so far given as the expression of truth in nearly all English works.

History of the Catholic Church in Western Canada, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the significant religious and sociopolitical movements that shaped Western Canada from 1659-1895. The author, a noted historian, presents a unique perspective on the Catholic Church's role in the development of the region, particularly during the Red River Insurrection of 1869-70. The book examines the causes and consequences of this pivotal event, which was sparked by the Canadian government's plans to take control of the Hudson's Bay Company's territories. By analyzing historical documents and providing first-hand accounts from both Catholic and Protestant sources, the book challenges established narratives and sheds new light on the motivations and actions of the MÃ tis people, who played a central role in the insurrection. The author argues that the insurrection was not a rebellion but a legitimate protest against the Canadian government's encroachment on MÃ tis rights and sovereignty. Rich in historical detail and insights, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of a complex and often misunderstood period in Canadian history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331719878_0
