About this title

Synopsis

Masterful biography of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, focussing on the six Presidents who shaped it to their will: George Stephen, William Cornelius Van Horne, Thomas Shaughnessy, Edward Beatty, Buck Crump, and Ian Sinclair. With unparalleled access to corporate and private documents, the authors tell the story of the men who combined foresight, power and wealth to create Canada's largest institution -- the CPR -- and through it helped to shape the Nation's destiny. Fascinating insights into the railroad's history and into Canada's. With decorative end papers showing system map. 486 pages.
