Synopsis

A veteran Canadian officer shares personal recollections on the long drive for imperial unity and a united British Empire.

This memoir collects the author’s firsthand experiences shaping the early movement for imperial unity in Canada and beyond. Written in a conversational, fireside tone, it traces a lifetime of public service, political organizing, and steadfast loyalty to the Crown. The book blends personal narrative with the history of the Imperial Federation League and the British Empire League in Canada, offering readers a front‑row view of debates over tariffs, loyalty, and the future of a united empire.



Readers will discover how dedicated Loyalists and political insiders worked to keep Canada linked to Britain, even as factional politics shifted. The account covers key episodes, from the influence of American events to the push for preferential tariffs, and reflects on the people and ideas that shaped imperial policy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
