Description

weaves together hundreds of letters written by Canadians over the course of two centuries. With an abundance of correspondence at her disposal, Gray has selected letters that express intimate and moving moments in the live sof both the ordinary and the famous, as well as those that reflct significant historical events as seen from unexpected perspectives. Uncensored, spontaneous, and written from the heart, these letters capture the uniqueness of the time at which they were composed.Complemented by maps, sketches and photographs, together with Gray"s own notes and commentary, the letters within this marvellous volume will enlighten readers as well as touch them with the timelessness of the emotions they express-loneliness, excitement, determination, and pride." 544p. illus index
