Durant la belle époque du voyage (1885-1939), le Canadien Pacifique devient un empire mondial, grâce à son chemin de fer transcontinental, à ses splendides hôtels et à ses luxueux vapeurs qui sillonnent l’Atlantique et le Pacifique. À son apogée, c’est le plus vaste réseau de transport que le monde ait jamais connu. Cet ouvrage raconte cette histoire à nulle autre pareille et réunit en une remarquable trame visuelle l’aventure de la construction des rails et de ses remarquables prouesses techniques, la création des flottes et le charme des premiers périples en train. À partir d’images historiques exceptionnelles et souvent inédites, l’auteur redonne vie à un passé romantique, voire légendaire. Au fil des pages, chacun pourra s’imaginer comme un passager de la première heure, en route pour l’Europe, Canada ou l’Orient. Au cours des trente dernières années, l’auteur a sondé des fonds d’archives au Canada, aux États-Unis et au Royaume-Uni et collecté plus de 10 000 photographies et affiches sur l’histoire du Canadien Pacifique. C’est avec les plus belles de ces images qu’il a composé le récit visuel à nul autre pareil qui enrichit ce bel ouvrage. Découvrez tout le romantisme de cette belle époque à travers ce qui fût considéré comme le plus grand empire de voyage au monde : le Canadien Pacifique. L’ouvrage CANADIEN PACIFIQUE, l’empire du voyage, s’inscrit pour la forme dans la lignée des beaux livres : OBJECTIF NORD, Le Québec au-delà du 49e parallèle et NUNAVUT.

Few individuals have had as much opportunity to traverse the breadth of Canada as the photographers who rode the rails for the Canadian Pacific Railway. Almost from the company's beginnings in 1881, CPR hired noted photographers, first on contract, then later in its own in-house photography and publicity departments. Portraits of Canada presents the very best of their work in a visual journey across Canada in space and time. This book is a painstaking selection of 150 of the most thought-provoking, stunning, and sometimes quixotic images from the approximately 800,000 historic images in the Canadian Pacific Railway Archives, including momentous events in Canadian history, the social changes that swept through Canada from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries, and picturesque scenes from across Canada that were sent around the world by the CPR. These are postcards of a nation that allow us to see the country as it was, and how it was perceived by outsiders looking in.

Excerpt from The Calcium Light Turned on by a Railway Trackman: Containing Historical Facts of Great Value to All Classes of Railway Employes The purpose for which this book IS published is to strongly im press upon the minds of all maintenance-of-way employes that if they Wish to have their burdens made lighter and their lives made brighter - if they Wish to have their many grievances properly adjusted - the remedy lies Within themselves. Whining Will not help them. Prayers and petitions Will be alike in vain. The only source of relief is organization. The only remedy is united, per sis'i'ent action. Such action can only be had where the men eu gaged in it are possessed of three sterling traits of character, to wit courage, fidelity and fortitude - courage to undertake; fidelity to continue, and fortitude to endure Without murmuring the trials and deprivations incident to all great movements for the estab lishment of better conditions, higher ideals and greater liberties for the mass of mankind It was the possession of these noble qualities which enabled the maintenance-of-wav men on the Canadian pacific Railway to Win the most memorable struggle in which members of their craft were ever engaged - a contest in which the humble and unlettered trackmen were not only opposed by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company (perhaps the greatest and richest transportation company in the world), but also, through the General Managers Asso ciation, by every transportation company on the North American con tinent. The story of that famous struggle is briefly told in the fol lowmg pages. Plain facts are submitted, embracing all correspond ence between the railway officials and the maintenance-of-way men's representatives, and between said representatives and their constitu ents, as well as other letters and press comments which are of interest in this connection because of the Side lights which they shed upon the controversy. The author has not attempted to embellish the story of the C. P. Strike with any literary frills or furbelows, and does not ask that this book be treasured as a literary gem; but he does hope that It will be appreciated by that much-abused and long suffering class of railway employes known as maintenance-of-way men, for whose benefit it is intended, and who may learn from a close perusal of its pages how to fight their own battles for better con ditions and how TO win.

In 1871, a tiny nation, just four years old—it's population well below the 4 million mark—determined that it would build the world's longest railroad across empty country, much of it unexplored. This decision—bold to the point of recklessness—was to change the lives of every man, woman and child in Canada and alter the shape of the nation. Using primary sources—diaries, letters, unpublished manuscripts, public documents and newspapers—Pierre Berton has reconstructed the incredible decade of the 1870s, when Canadians of every stripe—contractors, politicians, financiers, surveyors, workingmen, journalists and entrepreneurs—fought for the railway, or against it. The National Dream is above all else the story of people. It is the story of George McMullen, the brash young promoter who tried to blackmail the Prime Minister; of Marcus Smith, the crusty surveyor, so suspicious of authority he thought the Governor General was speculating in railway lands; of Sanford Fleming, the great engineer who invented Standard Time but who couldn't make up his mind about the best route for the railway. All these figures, and dozens more, including the political leaders of the era, come to life with all their human ambitions and failings.
