Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Marion E. Barker; (illustrator). First Edition. 56 pp. Light wear. Cover art by Marion E. Barker. Started in 1920, this magazine was founded by the Hudson's Bay Company as part of their 250th anniversary celebrations. HBC was chartered on the 2nd of May in the year 1670. Their main business was furs, primarily beaver pelts, hence the name of the magazine, The Beaver. In 1994, the magazine was acquired by Canada's National History Society. In 2010, the History Society changed the name from The Beaver to Canada's History because, apparently, an assortment of half-wits thought the original title of the magazine was disgustingly sexist. This issue contains: Colours of the Farm by Donald Lamont, illustrated by Marion E. Barker; Fuel for the Home Fires by Desmond Morton and Cheryl Smith; Louis Slotin and the Invisible Killer by Martin Zeilig; Tyrant of the Ottawa Valley - planting the Clan McNab in colonial Canada by Bernard Shaw; North with the Red River Brigade by William Cornwallis King; A Surgeon on the Bay by W. B. Ewart; and Tourists of Old Montreal by Clarence Epstein; along with an assortment of features. Size: 4to. Book.
