Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the complex financial relationship between the Canadian Province of Canada and the Grand Trunk Railway Company from 1853 to 1854. The author includes a wealth of original letters, reports, and financial statements to illustrate how the Province supported the Grand Trunk Railway Company in its early years, providing not only financial support but also land grants and the authority to borrow large sums. The relationship impacted the strategies of both parties as each faced the challenges of the time, including political, economic, and technological concerns. This book is more than a historical account of a government supporting a company; it demonstrates how one of the most significant periods of railway construction in Canada shaped the nation's financial structures in enduring ways.
