Behind every young nation stand the men and women who built it in real time. The Canadian Men And Women Of The Time: A Handbook Of Canadian Biography Of Living Characters gathers those lives at the high noon of post-Confederation Canada. These lives shaped a country. Conceived as a pioneering canadian biographical reference work, Henry J. Morgan's Volume I offers a whos who in canada style biographical dictionary of canada, presenting concise, authoritative sketches of the prominent canadian figures who were shaping politics, law, literature, education, religion, commerce and culture in late 19th century canada. The result is a rich canadian biography anthology and collection of notable canadians in their own historical moment, from canadian political and cultural leaders to regional builders and quieter professionals whose work underpinned the new Dominion. For today's reader, it serves equally as a reference book for historians, a rewarding survey of character for lovers of narrative history, and a meticulous genealogy research resource for families tracing their Canadian roots. Long recognised as a canadian collective biography classic, it opens a direct window onto post-confederation canada history, preserving names, careers and connections that shaped the country's institutions and identity. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure, suited both to the casually curious reader and to classic-literature collectors building a lasting library of national heritage.
