Description: Forged from a bold Confederation promise, the Canadian Pacific Railway stands as one of the most audacious engineering feats of the nineteenth century. This sweeping account traces the railway's construction from treacherous mountain surveys and the blasting of the Selkirks to the iconic driving of the Last Spike at Craigellachie. Beyond steel and steam, it explores how the CPR reshaped commerce, standardized time, birthed prairie towns, and stitched a young nation together from sea to sea. A compelling portrait of the ambition, hardship, and human cost behind the ribbon of iron that built Canada.
