Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the journey of the Intercolonial Railway during its early years of operation. It provides a detailed historical account of the construction, the stations, and the surrounding landscapes of the railway, from Riviere du Loup to Father Point and beyond. There are descriptions of several towns and villages along the route, including Trois Pistoles and Rimouski. The author includes anecdotes and descriptions of forestry, hunting, shipwrecks, and indigenous communities, as well as geological observations and details of engineering feats. There are accounts of religious and educational institutions. The author describes the beauty of the St. Lawrence and its tributaries, and although the book speaks to the railway's importance and nation-building impact on local communities, the author also highlights opportunities for tourism and recreation in the region. The book situates the railway within the broader context of Canada's colonial history and its relationship with Indigenous and European communities. Through the author's vivid descriptions, the book offers a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of a significant infrastructure project during a transformative period in Canadian history.
