Excerpt from The Grand Trunk Pacific, Canada's National Transcontinental Railway: The Only All Canadian Route The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company, which was incorporated by Act of Parliament, 1903, is under agreements with the Canadian Government for the construction and operation of a line of railway across Canada, from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, wholly within Canadian territory, of an estimated mileage of main line of miles; in addition to which there will be constructed Several branch lines of considerable length and importance, including a line from the main line southerly 188 miles to Fort William and Port Arthur, on Lake Superior, for the purpose Of reaching navigation on the Great Lakes; also from the main line southerly about 229 miles to North Bay or Gravenhurst, in the Province of Ontario, to make connection with the lines of the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada, and another line from the main line southerly to Montreal. Branch lines are proposed as well, to Brandon, Regina, Prince Albert and Calgary, and to Dawson in the Yukon Territory and Vancouver, British Columbia. This great undertaking, which surpasses in magnitude and importance any plan of railway construction hitherto conceived as a whole, has been projected to meet the pressing demand for transportation facilities in British North America, caused' by the large tide of immigration which is now flowing into that country from Great Britain, Northern Europe, and still more extensively from the Western States of the United States, seeking the rich lands which lie so extensively in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The agreements between the Company and the Government providing for the new Transcontinental Railway are of a twofold character, which when carried out will combine a railway constructed at the expense of the Government, with the lines of a private corporation, into one system, under the entire control, management and Operation of The Grand Trunk Pacific Company.

In A Thousand Blunders, Frank Leonard looks at why the 'Road of a Thousand Wonders' failed to live up to the expectations forecast by company president Charles M. Hays and other senior managers. Not only was the railway built through a sparsely settled region, which generated little immediate traffic, but its economic difficulties were also compounded by the numerous mistakes made by managers at all levels: for example, their failure to respond adequately to labour shortages caused serious delays and prevented the company from proving Prince Rupert as an effective alternative harbour before World War I broke out. For this book, Frank Leonard had access to a wealth of original documents, among them the GTP legal department files, providing him with insights into the decisions that formed the basis for policies in townsites and on Indian reserves. A Thousand Blunders is a provocative account of one of the greatest failures in Canadian entrepreneurial history. Richly detailed and thoroughly documented, it makes an important contribution to the fields of railway and business history, as well as to the study of the history of northern British Columbia.
