The story of Canada’s Black heritage is filled with important events and amazing people who helped shape the country’s history and culture – people like Rose Fortune, North America’s first policewoman; Harriet Tubman, the Underground Railway’s legendary ‘conductor’; newspaper editor Mary Ann Shadd; Elijah McCoy, the brilliant inventor who was ‘the real McCoy’; Alberta cowboy John Ware; and Fergie Jenkins, the first Canadian elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Enter the world of First Nations and fur traders – when the quest for beaver pelts was opening up the Canadian frontier. Join Pierre Radisson, Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser and other adventurers as they venture into territory that would become Canada.
The Great War (1914-1918) inspired courageous heroes and established a proud Canadian nationalism, but it was a devastating event that killed or maimed almost half of Canada’s brave soldiers in battles such as Ypres, the Somme, Vimy Ridge, and the final 100 days.
Young readers will discover Canada’s part in the first great worldwide conflict. They will learn about life in the trenches, the first tanks, u-boats and convoys, aces and dog fights, machine guns and cavalry charges, gas warfare, as well as the drastic changes in women’s roles.
The American Revolution frequently turned neighbour against neighbour, brother against brother, and father against son. By the end of the conflict, more than seventy thousand former residents of the Thirteen Colonies left or lost their homes. Most headed north to the Canadian wilderness. Although they too, wanted independent and democratic rights, they believed in law, order, and loyalty to Britain.
The Mounties presents the amazing stories of such larger-than-life figures as James Macleod, an officer who befriended the powerful Blackfoot chief, Crowfoot; James Morrow Walsh, who won the trust of Sitting Bull when he arrived in Canada after the massacre at Little Big Horn; Jerry Potts, the famous Métis scout and interpreter; and Sam Steele, the superintendent who kept the peace during the Klondike Gold Rush.
This addition to the exciting, innovative Discovering Canada series brings to life the time before the white European settlers “discovered” Canada, when only the original native peoples lived here.
Who were these peoples? Where did they live? What were their legends and myths, famous heroes?
