The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different period or theme in Canadian history.The first section of the book covers the prehistoric period, with readings that discuss the geological formation of Canada, the arrival of the first humans, and the development of indigenous cultures. The subsequent sections of the book cover the arrival of European explorers and settlers, the formation of New France, the British conquest of Canada, and the emergence of Canadian nationalism in the 19th century.The book includes a variety of primary source materials, including letters, journals, speeches, and official documents. Some of the most notable readings include the journals of Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain, the Quebec Act of 1774, and speeches by prominent Canadian politicians such as Sir John A. Macdonald and Wilfrid Laurier.Overall, Canadian History Readings V1 (1900) provides a comprehensive overview of the key events and themes in Canadian history, and is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding the development of this important North American nation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
