Summary

For a generation or more there have been few books that brought together in accessible form the raw materials of Canadian history. In many minds the impression has taken root that those materials are uninteresting. Broadview's two-volume anthology of documents in Canadian history, "A Few Acres of Snow" and "A Country Nourished on Self-Doubt", demonstrates the contrary: that these raw materials provide extraordinarily engaging and informative insights into the richness of Canadian history.
