Turmoil and Triumph: Controversial Railway to Hudson Bay - Bickle, Ian

Clean, tight, unmarked; personal gift inscription on ffep; otherwise very minimal wear; This is story of courage and adventure. The Hudson Bay Railway was controversial from the start. Political debates raged over its ability to provide the least expensive way to ship prairie grain overseas and to provide a less costly route for imports. Groups, such as the Hudson Bay Route Association and individuals like W.A. Richford, struggled to champion the harbor route, which today is still under threat of closure. The men who surveyed the Bay route, the workers who built it and the people who keep it alive have raised the level of human achievement in Canada. Their story is an important and colorful part of Canadian history.
