Summary
:
Fresh interpretations of Canada's founding Prime Minister, published for the occasion of the bicentennial of his birth in 1815. The collection throws new light on Macdonald's formative role in shaping government, promoting women's rights, managing the nascent economy, supervising westward expansion, overseeing relations with Native peoples, and dealing with Fenian terrorism. A special section deals with how Macdonald has (or has not) been remembered by historians as well as the general public. Macdonald emerges as an historical figure that is surprisingly relevant to our own times.
