Synopsis

In Forging Canada, Agnes C. Laut traces how faith, work, and endurance shaped a nation from frontier to nationhood.

A clear, inviting exploration of Canada’s early spirit and the people who built it, this book blends narrative drive with thoughtful analysis to explain how a diverse set of beginnings—French clerics, English administrators, fur traders, Loyalists, and settlers—formed a shared sense of purpose.

From laying religious foundations to enduring political trials, the narrative centers on the values that kept Canada together: integrity, perseverance, and a commitment to collective ideals. It connects early settler motives with later national development, showing how faith and duty influenced choices about education, governance, and unity.

  • Profiles of key groups and moments that helped shape the nation’s character
  • Reflections on how wilderness, migration, and diplomacy formed lasting regional identities
Ideal for readers of Canadian history, national identity, and anyone curious about how a nation’s character takes shape through faith, work, and endurance.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Europe setting out on her career of world history is a phenomenon of vast and deep enough import to stir to national consciousness the slumbering spirit of any people. Yet when you come to trace when and where national consciousness awakened, it is like following a river back from the ocean to its mountain springs. From the silt borne down on the flood-tide you can guess the fertile plains watered and far above the fertile plains, regions of eternal snow and glacial torrent warring turbulently through the adamantine rocks. You can guess the eternal striving, the forward rush and the throwback that have carved a way through the solid rocks; but until you have followed the river to its source and tried to stem its current you can not know.
