Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the challenging journey of establishing a railway line through the remote and untamed wilderness of Quebec's Lac St-Jean region in the late 19th century. It transports readers to a time when this vast territory was largely unexplored, and its inhabitants faced extreme hardship in their daily lives. The author, a renowned historian, delves deep into the motivations and experiences of the pioneers who spearheaded this remarkable endeavor, shedding light on the complex interplay between human ambition, economic development, and the indomitable spirit of those who ventured into the unknown. The book not only documents the construction of the railway but also paints a vivid portrait of the region's transformation from an isolated frontier to a thriving hub of commerce and settlement. Through a captivating blend of historical narrative and evocative descriptions, this book offers a profound exploration of the human experience in the face of adversity and the transformative power of infrastructure in shaping the destiny of communities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
