"In 1870 the almost three-year-old nation of Canada inherited a vast empire. That year the Hudson’s Bay Company ceded its claim to the territory over which it had carried on its fur trade for 200 years. The land stretched from east to west across the continent and north to the Arctic Ocean but the centre of its economic and settlement activity was a tiny community at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, a thousand miles west of Toronto. The question arose as to how these far-distant places could be joined. A railroad through British territory was a financial impossibility and using the rapidly-expanding American railroad system was politically unsavoury. The only solution was to implement a plan that had been suggested ten years earlier by civil engineer Simon Dawson. He proposed the building of a “road” that would use wagons, barges and steamboats to carry people and goods through the 450 miles of wilderness that separated Lake Superior and Red River. This book is the story of the difficult birth, short life and early death of the "Dawson Road"."--from www.mcnallyrobinson.com/9780978480127/neil-mcquarrie/forgotten-trail#.UynxkLdOUdU.

The reformer James Redpath (1833–1891) was a focal figure in many of the key developments in nineteenth-century American political and cultural life. He befriended John Brown, Samuel Clemens, and Henry George and, toward the end of his life, was a ghostwriter for Jefferson Davis. He advocated for abolition, civil rights, Irish nationalism, women's suffrage, and labor unions. In Forgotten Firebrand, the first full-length biography of this fascinating American, John R. McKivigan portrays the many facets of Redpath's life, including his stint as a reporter for the New York Tribune, his involvement with the Haitian emigration movement, and his time as a Civil War correspondent. Examining Redpath's varied career enables McKivigan to cast light on the history of journalism, public speaking, and mass entertainment in the United States. Redpath's newspaper writing is credited with popularizing the stenographic interview in the American press, and he can be studied as a prototype for later generations of newspaper writers who blended reportage with participation in reform movements. His influential biography of John Brown justified the use of violent actions in the service of abolitionism. Redpath was an important figure in the emerging professional entertainment industry in this country. Along with his friend P. T. Barnum, Redpath popularized the figure of the "impresario" in American culture. Redpath's unique combination of interests and talents—for politics, for journalism, for public relations—brought an entrepreneurial spirit to reform that blurred traditional lines between business and social activism and helped forge modern concepts of celebrity.

When Hannah Breece came to Alaska in 1904, it was a remote lawless wilderness of prospectors, murderous bootleggers, tribal chiefs, and Russian priests. She spent fourteen years educating Athabascans, Aleuts, Inuits, and Russians with the stubborn generosity of a born teacher and the clarity of an original and independent mind. Jane Jacobs, Hannah's great-niece, here offers an historical context to Breece's remarkable eyewitness account, filling in the narrative gaps, but always allowing the original words to ring clearly. It is more than an adventure story: it is a powerful work of women's history that provides important--and, at times, unsettling--insights into the unexamined assumptions and attitudes that governed white settler's behavior toward native communities at the turn of the century. "An unforgettable...story of a remarkable woman who lived a heroic life."--The New York Times
