Item description from seller

Original light blue cloth wrappers with gilt lettering. Spine has large stain its full-length. This history was written in preparation for the 40th anniversary of the driving of the "Last Spike." The author was a Presbyterian minister who wrote history books in his spare time (he also did one about the RCMP). Unlike others who wrote about the CPR, MacBeth included modern information in his account, including discussing the construction of spiral tunnels, dams, aqueducts, and urban real-estate development. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall.

We specialize in old hardcovers, and also have an extensive selection of local/Maritimes history. On December 31, 2023, we were forced to close our 23-year-old bricks and mortar bookstore due to a change in the building's ownership. We now operate online from our home (order pickup by appointment only).
