Descripción

Records of Our History: A Future Defined - Canada from 1849 to 1873; by George Bolotenko; National Archives of Canada, 1992. A Future Defined is the fourth volume published by the National Archives of Canada in its series entitled Records of Our History. Intended for the general public, as well as for students, this volume reflects broadly the development of Canada and offers the reader a large and varied sampling of archival documents used by researchers to write the history of Canada. The first two volumes of this series, Dreams of Empire and Taking Root, cover the early period in Canadian history, from the beginnings of New France to the end of the French Regime. Colonial Identities gives an overview of Canada s history from 1760 to 1815. A Future Defined offers a journey through the era 1849 to 1873, a time of remarkable and fundamental change. The text is lavishly illustrated with 176 reproductions of archival records maps, engravings, paintings, medals, stamps, manuscripts, printed material and photographs. All these historical records are drawn from the extensive holdings of the National Archives of Canada. Inlaid, in an earlier volume in this series is a letter from a person interested in Canadian history asking where was the volume, 1815 to 1849. The response letter indicates that the series was not to be all-inclusive, reduced resources forced a review of our exhibition and publication program. There are 3 other titles; the first in the series covers Canada before 1700 published in 1982, the second 1700 to 1760 published in 1985 and the third 1760 to 1815 was published in 1988. All volumes are currently available by this bookseller. This large volume, 253 pages measuring 278mm X 210mm, is in fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. This is a high-class work, printed on heavy, calendered paper stock. With the effort that when into creating the content and the high production cost, I am surprised that the market price isn t much higher. N° de ref. del artículo 2231d
